Activities
About 10% of the ERIC incomes derives from direct contracts with companies or Institutions to perform R&D activities or studies to explore the potentialities of specific areas. In Industrial production, companies are challenged to provide products and services in a more timely, efficient manner while at the same time assuring quality and customer satisfaction. Effective and practical project management practices are essential to addressing these challenges. ERIC consultants have project management experience both within European and Publicly funded projects as well as within the chemical processes. ERIC also provides services to independently assess project status and to assess the value of the Intellectual Property deriving from a project.
ERIC offers unique opportunities for companies and Institutions to perform the research and the development in the area of catalysis, since this organization allows to address complex problems which require multidisciplinary competences, from theory and modelling to surface science, synthesis and mastering of advanced nanomaterials, multi-tool characterization, catalysts testing and kinetics, catalyst and reactor engineering, and scale-up.
ERIC, as a one-stop-shop, can offer a flexible and tailored involvement of different scientific and engineering competences, through a single entry point. For companies, and particularly for SMEs, ERIC can also give additional services, including assistance in process developments and Intellectual Property Rights protection, personal training, as well as in the preparation of R&D projects at national, European and International level.
