Joint laboratories between research organizations and SMEs or intermediate-sized enterprises (Labcom) Call for proposals 2021

The purpose of this program is to encourage research actors to create new structured partnerships through the creation of "Joint Laboratories" between a SME or an intermediate-sized enterprise and a research laboratory. A Joint Laboratory is defined by the signing of a contract defining its operation, including:

• A common governance,
• A roadmap for research and innovation activities,
• Resources to operate the roadmap,
• A strategy to ensure the value creation from the research activities.

Activities funded by the program will focus on the construction stage of the Joint Laboratory and initial research operations.
