European perspective
SINTEF Energy Research
• Less administrative work than EU funded projects• Size of consortium flexible• Consortium agreement• Align national celandars - contract and formalities• Personal contacts important
• Friendly and demanding atmosphere – at the same time
• Innovation for industry partner/Europe at the core• Use national contact points• Ministries, funding agencies to meet, communicate, align
Our strong, common believe in scientific excellence and
European collaboration
