         •     Are you considering:
         •     How to help R&I projects to reach the market, stakeholders and potential users? 
         •     How to exploit the R&I results and meet expectations of different project 
               partners? 
         •     How to communicate better internally or externally, follow market evolution, 
               and consider competing solutions and financial opportunities?  
         •     Common Exploitation Booster services aim to bridge the gap between 
               research results and exploitation by helping the project consortia in 
                 •   raising awareness on exploitation possibilities and exploitation planning;  
                 •   clarifying issues, exploring solutions and actions, anticipating possible conflicts for  successful 
                     exploitation; 
                 •   setting up roadmaps for the long-term sustainability of the project results; 
                 •   creating value out of novel knowledge (recognising exploitable results, creating revenues, 
                     improving skills, standardization or patenting, finding pathways for future work).
