1) a general presentation of your university, so as to introduce your institution and the team involved in the project (this might take between 10 and 20 minutes, please share what you think it is important for the other partners to know about your organization, taking into consideration the goal of the project, i.e. relevant competences, technologies, educational activities)
2) a more specific presentation about your experiences in university-industry collaboration for new product-service development; focus most of all on the last 5 years, and highlight number of collaboration projects, nature of the collaborations (e.g. contracts, joined initiatives etc), IP production and possibly the profile of the companies your university collaborates with (size, field of application etc). Please add also references to your startups and spinoffs.
