Aim of the joint call

ERA-IB’s objective is to foster economic and academic IB players in sharing risks, costs and skills related to innovation in order to develop new knowledge, new products, technologies or supply services that could reach the market more efficiently. It is aimed at establishing cross-border partnerships between industrial and academic IB research, improving and accelerating technology transfer, and strengthening European efforts to achieve sustainable industrial development. An important step to achieve these goals is by implementing this first joint call for proposals for trans-national R&D projects. The total budget available for this Call is approximataly 11 Milion Euros.
