  8. Introduction Each year, IMEC has to fulfil a number of stringent and ambitious Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) with regard to the interaction and collaboration with its Flemish stakeholders (‘return to Flanders’) • Training : Flemish Universities, Higher Polytechnic Schools, Flemish Industry  expressed in number of ‘contact-hours’ (target in 2003 ~5400 contact-hours) (+ of course towards IMEC) • Collaboration with Flemish Industry : • Turnover from collaboration with Flemish Companies (~ >15% of IMEC’s overall contract research turnover) • Number of contracts with Flemish SME’s (95 in 2003) • Number of new SME’s with whom contracts are concluded (5 in 2003) • Turnover from collaboration with Flemish SME’s (~ 3% of IMEC’s overall contract research turnover) • Creation of new spin-offs (at least 1 per year) • Number of contracts with Flemish Universities, Higher Polytechnic Schools and R&D centers (at least 32) Herman E.
