The program aims to aid project partners in further developing germ results of BaCaTeC-supported initiatives into leading joint research collaborations and toward securing concrete means of further development and other financing.
Target Group
All successfully concluded projects formerly supported by BaCaTeC and in need of temporary financing are eligible for funding toward further project development under the stewardship of more comprehensive, third-party funding. The offer applies to all projects to have received funding from BaCaTeC in the five years prior to begin of the subsequent funding from BaCaTeC.
