  5. Current Support • Collaborative R&D • Innovation Platforms • Knowledge Transfer Networks • Knowledge Transfer Partnerships • Micro Nanotechnology (MNT) Centres • Framework Programme National Contact Points and EUREKA

  6. Collaborative R&D competitions • Key mechanism for supporting business R&D • Competition priorities derived from Key Technology / Application Areas / Innovation Platforms • Support Business to Business and Science to Business R&D projects that will deliver successful new products and services • Funding for Basic, Applied and Experimental Development R&D projects (75% - 25% contribution towards project costs) • Since 2004 more than 600 Collaborative R&D projects approved for funding – (£3k - £95m) – representing about £1 Bn of R&D activity
