6. Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral projects (DOI – TOI)
Development of innovation (DOI)
Transfer of innovation (TOI)
DOI proposals present the need for innovation (gaps in the market)
DOI proposals  react to a common innovation pressure + should lead to brand new solutions  clear benefit with European-scope
TOI proposals  present the basis of the transfer (identified best practice or innovative products or processes) present the benefits/added-value of transfer to the new target audience: geographic, sectoral, linguistic, socio-cultural (needs analysis!)

7. Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral projects (DOI – TOI)
Input of European partners: different approaches lead to cross-fertilisation, creativity, new solutions/know-how
TOI generate "savings" by exploiting existing practices: innovative content can be 5 years old, for example, as long as it has not been outstripped by another innovation
TOI proposals can also be a learning experience for the "exporting" organisation respectively the "exporting" country

8. Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral projects (DOI – TOI)
proposals must clearly address one of the 3 strategic priorities set up for DOIs
no national priorities
proposals must clearly address one of the 6 strategic priorities set up for TOIs
if required in the National Agency call for proposals - also comment on the contribution to national priorities.

9. Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral projects (DOI – TOI)
DOI proposals time for development but also enough time for testing (thus can be 3 years long)
The development of an innovation can come from any organisation with an innovative idea: therefore DOI proposals will often involve specialist developers
TOI proposals allow only limited time for development but largely sufficient time for adaptation, testing and integration.
TOI project  need for partners with standing and reputation (not necessarily innovative organisations but this does not exclude specialist developers)

10. Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral projects (DOI – TOI)
Already in the planning stage TOI proposals must clearly consider international property rights (IPR) of the previously developed products or results, which the proposal intends to transfer
