Work-Package Summary

The project aims to initiate integration and growth in DfMM skills and capability, however, the long-term objective is to set-up a financially sustainable organisation that provides a DfMM service to European Industry. This workpackage is responsible for pulling together the project results and utilising these results to establish the service.

The actions that are covered by this activity are therefore:

1. The maintanance of a skills and resources database that identifies the key technology providers, equipment and skills together with modes of access.
2. The compilation of a rolling buisness plan over the course of the project based on market needs, visits to partner institutes and feedback from the IAB.
3. The maintanance of a grant scheme to fund activities that can clearly contribute to this buisness plan.
4. Providing business development support to the virtual laboratories in each technical area of PATENT-DfMM
5. Summerising integration achieved and identifying new integration opportunities.
