Overview
Background & policy context:
The project SME-AERO-POWER empowers SME's in the broad interdisciplinary domain of Aerospace to participate in EU research.
Benefits for participating Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) & Small Organisations (SO's):
- Coaching of key people in using up-to-the-minute techniques and concepts in the management of innovation;
- Training and practice in writing competitive bids for FP7/8 research funding;
- Access to a European-wide network of SME's & SO's using web-based collaboration-support tools in a "learning community";
- The use of appropriate and effective creative problem-solving and knowledge-sharing techniques;
- Membership of relevant Special Interest Groups built around "hot topics" of importance to European aerospace primes.
Objectives:
SME's and SO's are often the hotbed of innovation but harnessing the potential to drive the European Aerospace business forward in line with Framework strategy is no easy task. This project tackles the shortfall in SME/SO participation in innovative collaborations with industry primes and FP7/FP8 projects.
Methodology:
Tailoring proven methods of improvement into the SME-AERO-POWER project.
