Max A.: Two Marie Skłodowska-Curie Applications and a Research-Centre Route
Max A.
I am a mechanical engineer. I applied twice for Marie Skłodowska-Curie funding; one proposal was highly rated but not funded. Now I want to commercialise the research through a company or independent research centre.
The situation
Max has a mechanical-engineering background and has already invested substantial time in two Marie Skłodowska-Curie applications. One proposal reached a strong evaluation but did not receive funding. Instead of waiting for another single call, the next step is to organise the research assets into parallel routes: commercialisation, an independent research-centre concept, alternative funding, publications and industry-facing R&D work.
Useful support route
The next step is to organise the existing research assets, timing and career objective into a practical support plan. Depending on the case, this may combine funding strategy, publications, host or employer outreach, industry transition, research entrepreneurship and longer-term career planning.
