Commercialisation services

Description du marché

NORCE Research AS is an independent research institute that provides multi-disciplinary, applied research within energy, climate and the environment, health, society and technology. NORCE works closely with business and the public sector to create research based innovation and social benefit. NORCE has several locations nationally. Deliveries under this agreement shall be able to perform efficiently across NORCE ́s locations (Tromsø, Bergen, Stavanger, Haugesund, Oslo, Kristiansand and Grimstad), through a combination of on-site presence and digital formats. Seamless follow-up of researchers, project managers and administration shall be facilitated, regardless of geographical location. The aim is to enter into a framework agreement with one total supplier (with an option to use sub-suppliers see point 2.6) of commercialisation services, which shall strengthen NORCE ́s ability to help identify, assess, evaluate and develop research results. The contract shall supplement NORCE ́s internal innovation and business developer function and ensure professional handling of rights, market clarification and scaling. * The framework agreement will be used for individual assignments as needed (call-offs). * NORCE maintains primary responsibility for brainstorming, first dialogue with researchers, receipt of innovation messages (DOFI) and initial rights claims. * The tenderer will have primary responsibility in later phases of the commercialisation process. The final division of roles and responsibilities will be agreed per assignment. NORCE ́s research areas: · Energy and technology (e.g. renewable energy, energy systems, digitalisation/AI, sensors and robotics). · Climate and environment (e.g. monitoring, modelling, nature and environmental data, sustainable materials and processes). · Health (e.g. health, e-health, decision support, diagnostics, medical technology). · Communities (e.g. stand-by, welfare, public innovation, computer and policy-driven service development). · Sea and bioeconomy (e.g. marine biotechnology, aquaculture, environment monitoring, sensor technology). Tenderers must be able to handle commercialisation of both physical technology and software/data-based results (including open source code models, data and licence regimes).
