The Technology Partners Foundation participates as a coordinator and/or performer of European research projects. For each project, it assembles a group of partners most suitable for the work requirements.
The Foundation also supports Polish R&D Institutes in joining international research consortia.
Such actions are possible thanks to the Foundation’s extensive network of international contacts. It is an active participant of several European associations – of industrial enterprises that are R&D leaders (EIRMA), chief European R&D Institutes (EARTO), and companies and institutions active in the area of innovation (K4I – the Foundation is one of the platform’s founding members; and ISPIM). The Foundation also maintains ongoing contacts with representatives of the European Commission, Members of the European Parliament, the people and institutions that create the present and future of the European scientific research sector. It also cooperates with Polish institutions and agencies that manage European projects.
These contacts provide up-to-date information on development trends in European scientific research sector management, as well as the research projects in preparation and the consortia being formed to perform them. The experience gained by the Technology Partners Foundation in the course of European projects enables it to assist enterprises and institutions not only in the process of organising project participation but also in project performance and management.
Listed below are selected current and past European research projects in which the Foundation and its key partners have taken part:
- MAAXIMUS — More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing;
- PRINT (CRAFT FP5) – Printed circuit boards with high solderability tin coating for lead free soldering (2002-2004);
- DIEXFIL (CRAFT FP5) – Development of diesel exhaust gases filtration technology with application of fuel additives enabling continuous regeneration of filters to minimize the particulate emission of city buses (2002-2004).
