20. 20 Other qualifying aspects Francesco MolinariManchester, 28 August 2013 Price paid is always lower than the market value of research and development The Regional government shares IPR and exploitation interests with the proposers Always 2+ awarded proposals at each stage of the process and for each thematic domain (Smart Energy, Intelligent Mobility) It’s a public purchase, not a research grant  less exchange of paper, more tangible results (local pilot installations) …
