Dear colleagues,

I'd like to share my notes in relation to the exploitation plan-request/recommendation communicated by the EC. Please add your points or possible corrections to my notes in order to unify the potential submission a bit.



In the end this consolidated "requirements" and the concrete plan needs to be communicated ASAP to the pcc or all industry partners on WP level

Thanks for contributions & all the best,



                                                               /Thorsten


Juanjo notes:

-           Formal request by the EC: Each company has to submit their individual exploitation plans in few weeks.   Even those who said they would not be different to the already submitted (a letter stating so would be enough).   Don't need many pages, just some paragraphs.   Information will be treated as confidential.



Further notes and background how it was communicated

-          Recommendation by EC

o   Individual exploitation plans would be changed if requested - tour de chamber was made - most companies said they would change

o   That is what needs to be done

§  Timing: 3 weeks from "now" - max 2 pages.

§  Submission deadline would then be 05. July 2013 (right?)

o   Basically - from everybody on the consortium

  This was requested only from industry partners.   I believe that the EC and reviewers agreed there is no need for academia partners to submit exploitation plans.


o   If partner won't change it - just send the current one - that's fine

  It would not be a matter of re-submitting what was already there but a one-page letter stating that there are no changes of more elaborated plans from what can be read in the exploitation deiverable.


o   EC would like to know what your plans are - how seriously are you with the whole thing?



Further comments that were made during the review (day before) to this topic:

-          JH: we have exploitation plan which are in common but will have addition internal plans

o   "This statement is not written anywhere, and needs to be submitted and accepted by the EC"

-          Reviewer: If exploitation plans are declared confidential, then they potentially can't be reviewed and accepted

o   JH: other project support the confidential nature of exploitation plan

-          NK meeting on C-level

o   Arian saw the meeting and it was not concrete enough to him

o   Exploitation plan: If nobody gets killed, then we will continue... this is not how it should be

-          Needed:

o   Budget & people dedicated to exploitation planned and committed

  I believe that neither the EC nor the reviewers have asked for budget or resource figures assiged to exploitation plans.

  A more "high-level" description (but still relevant enough in terms of commitment) is feasible.


o   Budget dedicated people and efforts to describe exploitation effort in a report and not only a plan

  I understand this is the same point as the previous, so same comment applies.


o   Exploitation reports are not tangible now, they need a lot to be detailed

o   Private exploitation sessions proposed/accepted

o   Something that proves activities

  Again, what the EC and reviewers are asking is for one-two pages document describing what is there in the confidential exploitation plans that may help to assess the commitment of the partner with regard to exploitation of results.


-          Arian: We are mostly targeting the time after FI-WARE with this question

o   Impression of EC: Big players in major countries and little true traction felt from the report & no actions taken


  This doesn't require any comment.

  Cheers,

-- Juanjo
