Partners
The partners have been carefully chosen for a successful completion of the project and for an optimal distribution of activities and responsibilities. The consortium includes the necessary and sufficient number of complementary partners covering all the required multidisciplinary expertise to successfully carry out the required RTD tasks as well as to assure a manageable project structure.
The European dimension of the required innovations to be achieved within the project is supported by the involvement of the partners from 5 European countries, which will cope with the cultural and legal diversity ensuring a holistic problem definition and will provide a typical real world application scenario for a sound validation of the RTD results, also providing a good basis for the Europe-wide exploitation.
