One important task within BRIDGE is to create the collaboration model and the steering documents for the management of BRIDGE. Using input from workshops and meetings the consortium members have initiated, steering documents and the collaboration model has been elaborated and will be tested during the two-years project.

The Bridge model describes a way to increase Europe’s competitiveness and to meet the growing demands in innovation. The model fosters the links to industry in education, research and innovation, and has been elaborated among the members of the Bridge pilot partnership, who all bring extensive experience from international collaborations and several good-practices regarding the aspects needed for successful technology transfer and commercialization of research results.
