EIBURS-JEDI Project (Joint Effort for the Defense Industry)
The three-year project aims at identifying under what conditions technological innovations in the European defense industry are then adopted and re-utilized in the private sector, and what are the best practices that favor such transfer and how to further foster them.
The University of Groningen is one of the three partner universities in this project. The other two are the University of Bologna in Italy and Sodertorn University in Sweden.
The project is funded by the EIB University Research Sponsorship (EIBURS) programme which provides grants to support EU universities and research centres to develop activities in selected research areas additional to those that would normally be carried out by the beneficiary and on topics of major interest to the EIB Group.
