The Foundation for Polish Science has announced the first call for proposals for the PRIME Project, funded by the European Funds for Smart Economy (FENG) programme.<\/p>\n
The PRIME Project is addressed to scientists at any stage of their career working in Polish research organisations, who will form project teams in order to verify the market potential of their research findings and to prepare and implement the most suitable commercialisation path, including the setting up of a spin-off in \u2018Phase III\u2019 of the Project.<\/p>\n
Objectives:<\/strong> Phases of implementing the Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Phase I\u2019 (6 months) is designed to improve the competencies of team members and preliminary market validation of the identified commercialisation subject.<\/p>\n \u2018Phase II\u2019 (12 months) is mainly dedicated to the in-depth market validation of the solution, development of the product and commercialisation strategy, and customer search.<\/p>\n \u2018Phase III\u2019 (12 months) is aimed at spin-offs that have been formed as a result of the commercialisation strategy defined in Phase II. The spin-offs will follow an individual company and product development plan.<\/p>\n Who can apply for funding?<\/strong> Applicants to \u2018Phase III\u2019 are companies set up as a result of Projects implementing a commercialisation strategy developed by the Team within \u2018Phase I\u2019 and \u2018Phase II\u2019.<\/p>\n Researchers at any stage of their research career\u2014including before obtaining a degree\u2014can apply for a grant in the PRIME Project.<\/p>\n Allocating the funding<\/strong> The PRIME Project in \u2018Phase I\u2019 and \u2018Phase II\u2019 can provide funding to cover the costs of time spent on tasks in the Grant (based on an hourly unit rate) and travel costs (\u2018Phase II\u2019). In \u2018Phase III\u2019, support can be received for the implementation of an individual product and company development plan (de minimis aid).<\/p>\n One Grant can receive a maximum funding of PLN 313,904 within \u2018Phase I\u2019 and \u2018Phase II\u2019.<\/p>\n One Applicant, as a research organisation, may receive grant support within the entire PRIME Project (all calls combined!) of up to PLN 942,060 for three projects in \u2018Phase I\u2019 and \u2018Phase II\u2019.<\/p>\n Application deadline:<\/strong>\u00a013 February 2025, 4 p.m.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0One Applicant may submit a maximum of 3<\/strong> grant proposals.<\/p>\n Contact persons: Detailed information and documents available\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n Announcement about the Call available\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row] […]<\/p>\n
\nThe PRIME Project is to support the formation of project teams operating in the field of commercialisation in terms of the actual market needs and developing product development plan answering these needs. The Project participants will learn how to launch an offer that satisfies the needs of the target group and how to develop the possibly most adequate strategy for implementing products into the market. All in the formula of setting up and growing spin-off companies.<\/p>\n
\nApplicants to \u2018Phase I\u2019 are research organisations with Project Teams applying to the Project, consisting of:<\/p>\n\n
\nParticipants will be able to access a wide range of training and workshops, a Bootcamp carried out in Poland and the UK, business mentoring and tailor-made professional consultancy.<\/p>\n
