Kplus Centres
created on 10 Mar 2009
Kplus- Competence Centres Programme is a funding initiative set up in 1998 to improve cooperation between the business and research sectors. The programme supported the establishment of competence centres set up for a limited period of time which are typically developed in cooperation with universities or contracted research organisations together with the business sector. They are designed to conduct high-level, internationally relevant and pre-competetive research and development. As a result of 3 calls for tenders, 18 Kplus centres have been established, involving some 300 companies and around 150 scientific partners. Kplus is drawing to a close and is being replaced by the new compentence centres programme COMET.
