Unijne finansowanie i komercjalizacja projektów innowacyjnych w placówkach naukowych

The pace of scientific and technical progress is determined by innovation – including new solutions inventions in the field of production and manufacturing methods. Polish scientific institutions may be the centers for generating innovation. These entities are creating innovative solutions that usually end with a solution at an early stage of development – commercial prototype. But a phase of implementation and commercialization strategy is essential. EU funds under the Operational Program Innovative Economy 2007-2013 are used to elaborate these methods. This article attempts to demonstrate how to raise funds from the EU by research institutes on innovative projects with commercialization of its results (for example, the PROTEUS project prepared by consortium represented by Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP) and the effects of EU support granted. For the present problem analysis literature, data from the financial statements of the project PROTEUS (2008-2013) and the conclusions of the consultation with Director Plenipotentiary for Projects at PIAP were used. Conclusions and summary provide guidance on the management of the project at each stage: application, implementation and closure.
