As scientific research projects turn increasingly into development projects, funding bodies consider projects as business opportunities, where the research aims at a product that can be exploited commercially.
Scientists are often not prepared to consider exploitation strategies in their projects but nowadays, it is with this mindset that they must tackle the preparation of projects.
The following questions are meant to address the points that should be taken into account at the time of preparing a scientific project. This list of points is not exhaustive since all projects are different, but we hope that it will help you to clarify your approach leading to the writing a funding proposal.
