Access to the academic knowledge, expertise, and equipment helps industrial scientists in conducting high-risk research projects. We are interested in new collaborative research projects with companies, both large industries and SME. We are open to discuss various collaboration models:
- Bilateral projects directly funded by a company
- Bilateral projects partly funded by a company and partly by a funding agency, such as IWT O&O projects.
- Multi-partner projects funded by national and international agencies: IWT SBO, EU Horizon 2020, etc.
- Joint PhD such as IWT Baekeland or European Industrial Doctorates.
Please contact us and we will scope together the individual collaboration model which best suits your needs!
Intellectual property
For a successful collaboration, IP agreements are crucial. For joint research projects, results typically are owned by both partners. A collaboration agreement that we will jointly discuss will cover the terms of IP ownership, publication policy, and other aspects.
