The 45 consultants of the department are all engineers and/or PhD graduated with complementary training in marketing, technology transfer, project management, etc.
For eleven years, ALMA CG has developed specific and original knowledge and methodologies in the management of partnership for research and development projects. A transnational partnership is a very specific way to work and exchange, that most of the industries, SMEs and laboratories are not trained to cope with. ALMA CG proposes them adapted solutions.
In particular, ALMA CG will participate to :
the setting-up of technical, administrative and financial reports according to EC requirements; technical and project committees
the communication policy between and in-between participants.
the management policy and setting-up of appropriate rules (through a consortium agreement or bilateral agreements).
the strategic orientation of the project with respect of the objectives of the project and interest of the participants. The strategy of a partner may change in the course of the project, it is important to take care that the changing strategy of one partner does not affect the whole project and its objectives.
To innovation related activities (dissemination, setting up of public web-site, links with standardisation committee) and to training activities.
