It is crucial to support activities that start or expand the implementation of publically-funded R&D outcomes which contribute to solving social problems.
GOALS:
To establish self-running mechanisms and organizational structures to maintain and further the use of R&D outcomes for non-profit, problem-solving purposes after three years of a support period
Projects (FY2007-)
- To fund and support projects (of up to 3 yrs. in duration) that are designed to achieve the goal
- Project characteristics:
- conducting activities that directly contribute to solutions for particular social problems
- expanding the activities, strengthening the bases of organizational structure, and/or speeding up processes to achieve goals
- based on solid outcomes18 from publically-funded R&D works
- non-profit activities, unrelated to the commercialization of products and/or corporatization
