  18. We can offer: • Any type of R&D cooperation • Joint research and/or development • Formation of project teams for specific tasks (Project leader, 2-5 senior researchers, 4-10 junior researchers and Ph D students) • Presently we have the immediate availability of about 20 people. • Recruiting university students for projects, including organization of advanced courses, MSc and Ph D projects - 15 - 30 graduates per year. MTA SZTAKI

  19. We can offer: • Completion of different tasks on contract basis, including research, realization, user`s training, etc. • Organization of project teams for dedicated long-term tasks • Trained team may be transferred later to a dedicated research center. MTA SZTAKI

  20. We can offer: Implementation of all necessary specific conditions, requirements, tools, etc. in the fields of • security of confidental information, • project planning, management, documentation, quality control (ISO 9001), • software development, • intellectual property rights, etc. MTA SZTAKI

  21. Advantages for industrial partners • Minimum investment (management, work force, infrastructure, etc.) • No in-country risk (political, economic, environmental) • Contract-based work - value for money • Access to top graduate students in a way considerably more effective than through usual recruiting MTA SZTAKI

  22. SZTAKI - the Best Partner • Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences - the largest intellectual capacity in this field • Multidisciplinary character - specialists for a wide range of topics • Close connections and cooperations with universities MTA SZTAKI

  23. SZTAKI - the Best Partner • A traditionally application-oriented research institute • Researchers experienced with contract terms, dead-lines, documentation, user training, etc. • Profit-center organization — personally interested staff MTA SZTAKI

  24. SZTAKI - the Best Partner • Solid international reputation, • Numerous international contacts, • Participation in international organizations Experience in international co-operations, the most successful Hungarian institution in EC - projects in the last 5 years MTA SZTAKI

  25. SZTAKI - the Best Partner • Flexibility: in topics, methods and tools, contract terms, capacity, security and safety requirements, • Stability: economic, financial, human management • Tax and other advantages of research institutes of the Academy MTA SZTAKI

  26. Costs - estimates Contracting is possible on a man-day basis or an agreed fixed cost per task. Man day basis (22 days per month) - project manager, senior scientists EUR 360 - R & D scientists EUR 280 - assistant, Ph D student EUR 120 All-inclusive costs, except - travel expenses (if needed), etc. MTA SZTAKI

  27. Typically a team upto 16: • Manager 1 • Senior scientists 2 • R & D scientists 2 • Ph D graduates 11 • The average cost EUR 185/person/day MTA SZTAKI

  28. Possible external support • R & D projects support from EU (6th Framework Program) • R & D projects support from the Hungarian Technological Development Funds • Different research grants MTA SZTAKI

  29. We typically operate on • A medium term Business Plan of our cooperation including main themes, magnitudes, human resources needed, • Organizational plan (understanding the client`s structure - initiation of projects, co-ordination processes, delivery of results, etc.), • Channels for our initiatives (R+D initiatives, participation in EC-projects, infrastructure, etc.), • Agreed financial terms MTA SZTAKI

  30. Steps to cooperatewith SZTAKI • Develop a general frame agreement • Initiate a pilot project • Agree in coordination processes • Develop ongoing projects MTA SZTAKI
