• All industrial partners (for-profit); (undertakings) within the consortium, benefits in cash and in kind contribute to the project; Een consortium-project is een onderzoeksproject met een complexe onderzoeksvraag die de expertise vereist van vier of meer organisaties. Elk project waaraan vier of meer partijen (excl. service providers, inclusiecentra en cofinanciers) deelnemen, is een consortium-project. We coordinate and design your grant and consortium contract taking into account the requirements, needs and intricacies of your consortium in terms of contractual obligations and intellectual property. Twice a year, the project manager reports in writing to the Users` Committee on the progress of the project (progress report and/or overview of results) and the User Committee meets to discuss the progress made. Exceptionally, to be decided by NWO Domain AES – the user committee may meet at a different frequency. The exploitation of the results of the research is always on the agenda of the meeting. It covers cooperation with (potential) users as well as the protection and commercialization of the knowledge generated. The results of the project are confidential until the user committee accepts the publication and has not authorized NWO Domain AES to publish it. Agreements between project partners regarding PI and publication (see the applicant`s guide and the presentation of the partnership agreement) are maintained if they have been approved by NWO Domain AES.

The main applicant becomes project manager and founder of the project consortium.
In the case of large projects with multiple work packages, it may be necessary to appoint separate sub-project managers. If the application is successful, the research institute of the project manager concerned shall receive an award decision with annexes.
