Conclusions & Next Steps
• Need for formalized EU support will offer high quality service
• Synergy effects & spin-offs, increased participation in FP 6
• What does LiU expect from us/need from us?
 Should we rank the EoIs & offer targeted high-end support to
them?
 Identify which LiU EoIs that have been id in Brussels?
 Research the partners i.e are they strong and ‘Brussels
credibly partners? Project mgt/consortium mgt/research
managers, exploitation mgrs?
