Commercial Analytical Research Organisations Transnational Strategy

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-06-16

Description

Description (EN):

CAROTS aims to establish a new type of private or public-private companies in the Baltic Sea region - Commercial Analytical Research Organisations (CARO). CAROs, as intermediary bodies between industry and academia, provide enterprises with much quicker yet complete assistance in analytical research in the fields of e.g. New Materials, NanoTech and Life Sciences.

Achievements (EN):

For the first time, the CAROTS project (CAROTS stands for Commercial Analytical Research Organisations Transnational Strategy) tested a new business model, market and bottlenecks for the development of Scientific Service Companies (SSCs). SSCs are intermediary companies facilitating access of enterprises to advanced research infrastructures and to scientific expertise needed to solve analytical tasks in areas like e.g. new materials, NanoTech, or Life Sciences. As enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), find it complicated and costly to access advanced research facilities and get an overview of the available research tools and methods, SSCs as intermediaries would facilitate contacts between companies and research representatives and facilitate solutions. Thus, SSCs made more effective use of existing research capacities at research infrastructures and other research institutions. The MIXN network established: The project managed to increase the previously low visibility of SSCs and initiated the European MIXN (Mediators connecting Industry to X-rays and Neutrons) network. The network, established in 2020, will continue its operation representing SSCs’ interests after the project’s end. The aim of the network was to raise awareness about the importance of intermediaries, to reach new clients and to lobby for easier non-academic access and use of analytical research facilities. The CAROTS Startup School: The CAROTS project established the Startup School and welcomed scientists and engineers working as researchers at universities or research institutions. The programme at the School contained coaching sessions (coaching from specialists that established SSC before) and webinars. As a result, by launching the School for those who want to set up a scientific service company (SSC) based on an advanced analytical technique, the project increased the number of SSCs in Europe as a first step. Out of eleven scientists, two have founded new companies and one entrepreneur has expanded his offer to include scientific services. The Startup School will be continued in the future with the support of the Research Infrastructures and the MIXN network. https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/carots/
