Search for external information on innovation to support projects |
Bibliographic consultation, partnerships with private and multinational companies, MAPA, LABEX, consulting firms, exchange of researchers, attending conferences, courses and technical meetings. |
Partnerships with research institutes, universities and private companies; MAPA; consulting firm; literature and portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), among others. |
Associated with individual capacity. |
Stimulus for absorption of knowledge and later availability for the project team |
Stimulus for training, the use of the Planning System, Monitoring and Evaluation of Individual Work Results (SAAD) and LABEX. |
The researcher is characterized by the constant need for knowledge. In addition, LABEX is an important mechanism being used. |
Graduate Programs. |
Practical approach to laboratories, research centers or universities for the development of collaborative R&D projects |
BASF enabled researchers to come to Brazil and for Embrapa researchers to go to Germany to exchange information. |
Exchange of researchers from international research institutes. |
Related to previous experiences of researchers, especially with regard to training. |
Prospecting and selection of internal and external partners for collaborative R&D projects |
Due to the importance of the partner in the market or by technical capacity. |
Focuses on the intellectual contribution of the partner. Can directly involve the researcher, as well as leadership. Contracts, agreements and even letters of agreement are established. |
Relationship networks for researchers, ILPF Network, search for complementary and market knowledge. |
Definition of rules for the formalization of external strategic alliances to enable R&D projects |
Through research projects, contracts, agreements and even letters of agreement. |
Cooperation Agreements, Accords, Letters of Compliance and Projects. |
Support of the Technology Transfer Programming Implementation Sector (TTPIS), the Technology Prospecting and Evaluation Sector (TPES), the Strategic Business Bureau (SBB), the Intellectual Property Committee (IPC) and Legal Counsel (LCO). |
Operation of internal and external strategic alliances to enable R&D projects |
Attention to confidentiality during development including protection. |
Definition of activities, goals and results, via the project, and monitoring by the Project Portfolio Management System (PPMS) and IDEARE. |
Contracts, technical cooperation agreements, terms of reference and confidentiality, work plans and projects. |
Dissemination of knowledge acquired through strategic alliances to enable R&D projects |
