Integrated Approach
The networking of research, development, innovation and standardization is based on an integrated approach.
Research, development, innovation and standardization
Developing a proposal for a research project
- Screening existing standards and assessing the need for standards
Drafting the project
- Identifying where standardization can benefit the project
-
Defining how standardization is to be covered during the project and who will be the standardization partner
Performing the project
- Identifying standardization potentials of project results
-
Cooperating with the standardization partner
Contributing to standardization
- Protecting, disseminating and applying project results
- Using standards and standardization as dissemination channels
Developing a proposal for a research project
- Screening existing standards: avoids the use of resources for obtaining knowledge that already exists.
- Identifying standards relevant to the research project
Drafting the project
- Identifying where standardization can benefit the project,
- Defining how standardization will be covered during the project, and
- Deciding who will be the standardization partner(s).
Performing the project
- Identifying standardization potential of project results,
- Cooperating with the standardization partner, and
- Contributing actively to standardization.
Protecting, disseminating and using project results
- Standardization as a channel for disseminating the knowledge created.
- Standardization prevents that research results are used for patenting by third parties.
