The 1st 2024 call for Baekeland and Innovation mandates from VLAIO is coming up.
VUB TechTransfer is organizing an info session regarding this call on the 18th of January 2024, from 11h30 to 13h30.
Baekeland and Innovation mandates give pre- and postdoctoral researchers the chance to conduct research in close collaboration with a Flemish company. These mandates support strategic research that offers a clear economic added value.
A Baekeland mandate offers the PhD candidate the possibility to obtain his PhD, learn to know the industry from the inside and see the scientific results applied.
Innovation mandates support postdoctoral researchers to conduct strategic research with an existing company or towards a new spin-off company.
