e-KnoT Voucher Program

The European GNSS Agency (GSA) supported e-KnoT project to further strengthen the interaction between education, research and industry with a new voucher programme aimed at helping companies seeking high-level scientific support.

The three-year, Horizon 2020 funded e-KnoT project aims to tighten the links between research and industry by supporting new and innovative ideas in the area of GNSS. It will achieve this by offering consultancy vouchers. European companies looking for high-level academic staff can redeem the vouchers for short-term and specialized expertise from participating academic partners.

Services provided by these partners cover assessment of an innovative idea, review of a new concept, analysis of blocking points, and more. They can be diverse and tailored to each company seeking assistance.

European companies can also work with GNSS students by providing an internship opportunity, training a post-graduate student, or co-funding a Ph.D student.

Any company operating in an EU country or a country associated with H2020 is welcome to apply. If accepted, short-term consultancy services will be provided from one of the four academic partners without any financial contribution required.

The deadline for applications is Friday, 29 May 2015. For more details on applications, terms, and conditions, please visit www.eknotproject.eu
