Purpose and goal
This application aimed to finance the continuing operations of Closer during the second half of 2014 ( bridging phase ). In addition to continued base activity , a well-grounded suggestion for the further development of the program has been developed. In addition, several new stakeholders have been recruited.
Results and expected effects
The result of the bridging phase is, except the results according to plan in the ordinary base activities, that an application for Closer 2.0 has been submitted and approved by VINNOVA. In total, the partnership consists of 17 partners (compared to the original 9).
Approach and implementation
The work with developing a proposal for the continuation of Closer was carried out in four phases: Phase 1: Effects , vision and main task Phase 2: Qualitative and quantitative targets Phase 3: Tasks and organization Phase 4: Resources and Finance Results of the above can be found in the application that was submitted to VINNOVA in October (appendix 1). Lots of resources were put on one-to-one conversations with old and new partners. A survey was sent around and a hundred people answered. Two workshops were arranged to discuss the future focus, one in Stockholm and one in Gothenburg.
