Key Contact Person programme

The Key Contact Person programme is designed to facilitate an ongoing interaction and communication between the academic researchers and representatives from partner organisations. The ambition is to increase the number of people at the partner companies involved in the NGIL centre activities, and quickly identify the most relevant research questions from an industry perspective as they arise.

In the programme, senior researchers have been asked to function as Key Contact Person (KCP) for 2-3 partner organisations per person. The KCP will have regular meetings with representatives from the partner organisation.
