New KTT Support
Implementation of new KTT Support – NTN call launched
The Board of the CTI is reorienting the strategy on KTT Support.
With the commencement of the 2013-2016 ERI Dispatch period, three elements will be introduced which are intended to provide sustainable support to the innovation activities of Swiss businesses:
-
Support via national thematic networks (NTN)
-
Support via innovation mentors (IM)
-
Information and networking via physical and web-based platforms
The implementation of the new KTT strategy commences in March 2012 with the call for national thematic networks.
Detailed documentation on the NTN call under a selective procedure is available from the beginning of March 2012
The four aims of KTT Support:
1. Focus on business: KTT Support should bring together business, particularly SMEs, and public research institutions, where this is not possible without support.
2. Focus on innovation: The aim is to establish cooperation, which serve as motors for innovation for Switzerland - more than generating new CTI projects.
3. Results-oriented: CTI funding is granted on the basis of performance, which is to be demonstrated in a pragmatic and results-oriented manner.
4. Making the most of existing structures: The new strategy is based on experience gathered to date, taking the positive from existing consortiums and networks and developing them further.
