UK's DTI advises organisations to follow Istaris guidelines
In a recently published document, the UK's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) advises organisations how to partner successfully for European-funded research. Co-authored by Neil Sandford, an independent consultant specialising in European collaborative research, and Charles Stubbs of Istaris Business Services, the specially commissioned document sets out the istarisPartnerships principles as they apply to Framework Programme Six, the latest round of funding made available by the European Commission. The guidance from the DTI offers partnering advice all the way through the project lifecycle, from the initial decision about whether or not to participate, right through to ensuring that your organisation is able to benefit from the project outcomes. The document has been lodged on the DTI's FP6UK website. You can access a copy by clicking here.
