LEEP-SME

The objective of the project is to improve European RFOs’ ability to recognize and work with exploitation potential in proposals and running projects in order to lead them to generation of applicable results. In other words, this project aims to enhance the proposal evaluation and project monitoring procedures and support services of European RFOs working with SMEs. Enhancement of these skills should lead to higher chances that supported projects involving SMEs generate exploitable results and possibly succeed on the market. It should also improve the applicantsâ€™ experience of the state aid process. In the long run, it is expected to lead to a greater impact of public R&D funding. In order to achieve these objectives, peer-learning activities are designed to facilitate cooperation and knowledge transfer among the involved innovation funding agencies (TA CR, EUREKA, FICYT and FUNDECYT-PCTEX)
