Call From Science to Products 2011

Deadline: September 6, 2011
Funding volume: EUR 2 Million

The Call From Science to Products 2011 awards and promotes projects carried out in Vienna which

• are carried out by Viennese companies or start-ups
• on the basis of their own R&D activities,
• leading to product, service or process innovations
• which are clearly oriented to being economically exploited.

In terms of their contents, the R&D projects should directly build upon research results which have not yet been commercially exploited on the relevant market in the form of product, process or service developments. These research findings must be published in recognized scientific or specialized publications.The company is not required to submit an application for funding in cooperation with one or several legal entities in the field of research and education (e.g. universities, academies of applied sciences). However, such a joint application can be an advantage in many cases in order to promote know-how transfer and strengthen the cooperation between science and business within the context of this call.Projects will be supported within the framework of this call without ZIT imposing any thematic constraints.
