Research project portfolio

 

An important task during our first phase has been to launch new research projects and to actively search to define and set up collaborative projects. To ensure a diversity of financial support to the center, the intent was to aside partnership and basic funding also to attract direct research project funding. Below is a list of the CBI research project portfolio, consisting of a mixture of externally and CBI funded projects. Due to the business model for the first phase – basic funding from Vinnova and Chalmers for initiating research – several projects are CBI funded. Below, the projects are listed:

The analysis of the data from this survey is expected to impact the future CBI research strategy, and will also be reported to the scientific community.
