Research actors encouraged to collaborate with the socio-economic and cultural world.
The A*Midex university foundation supported by Aix-Marseille université is launching its new Transfer programme for the period 2020-2023, with a series of calls for projects aimed at strengthening research partnerships between research institutions and actors from the worlds of business, culture and civil society.
This programme, with a budget of €6.5 million for the period 2020-2023, is based on 4 calls for proposals, the first of which are open from 23 September 2020:
- Call 1 - Emergence of new collaborations
- Objective: To enable new partnerships to be tested between an academic player and a player from the socio-economic/cultural world with no pre-existing collaboration.
- Call open continuously, from 23/09/2020.
- Call 2 - Start-up partnership
- Objective: To encourage the development of collaborations between academic actors and young start-ups (or ante-creation projects and student entrepreneurship) that have been incubated on the Aix-Marseille site, so that they can benefit from the innovation potential of the site's research units.
- Biannual call. 1st call open from 23/09/2020
- Call 3 - Partnership with the socio-economic and cultural world
- Objective: To support ambitious collaborative innovation projects led by academic actors and all types of actors from the socio-economic and cultural world, for exploratory research, technology or know-how transfer.
- Annual call. 1st call open from 02/11/2020
- Call 4 - Engineering and setting up European projects
- Objective: To provide support for the maturing, editing and writing of projects carried by researchers and teacher-researchers from the Aix Marseille site who wish to apply for European calls for projects requiring the involvement of one or more partners from the socio-economic world.
- Call open continuously from 04/01/2021.
The Transfer programme is drawn up by IDEX partner organisations, together with their valorisation subsidiaries, in a co-construction approach with representatives of the local ecosystem involved in partnership research and innovation (SATT Sud Est, Institut Carnot STAR, Protisvalor, Impulse incubator, Belle de Mai incubator, etc.) as well as thematic departments within Aix-Marseille Université.
It is part of the A*Midex university foundation's objective to strengthen the socio-economic impact of the Aix-Marseille site in order to increase the transfer of research results from laboratories to industry and civil society. In this respect, the programme is complementary to the existing "Transfer" structuring actions.
All information on the Transfer programme and calls is available here.
