The Innovation Plan is designed to promote interdisciplinary entrepreneurial opportunities within the research activities of the VECMA project, from invention through to exploitation. This promotion will be done as follows: for each invention entering the process, the benefits and potential for impact will be assessed, the capacity to exploit from within the project (and/or need for exploitation beyond the project) will be considered, and the mechanism for exploitation will be formulated, whether for research, societal or commercial impacts. This process will be applied to the anticipated products and services generated from the research.
This document is the top-level plan, to be adhered to by all members of the consortium in executing Innovation Management activities within the project.
