Bilateral Contracts with Industry

Tau will continue Tao policy about technology transfer, accepting any informal meeting following industrial requests for discussion (and we are happy to be too much solicited), and deciding about the follow-up based upon the originality, feasibility and possible impacts of the foreseen research directions, provided they fit our general canvas. This lead to the following 5 on-going CIFRE PhDs, with the corresponding side-contracts with the industrial supervisor, plus 3 other bilateral contracts. In particular, we now have a first “Affiliate” partner, the SME DMH, and hope to further develop in the future this form of transfer. Note that it can also sometimes lead to collaborative projects, as listed in the following sections.

• DMH 2019 (1 an, 45kEuros) related to consulting activities with DMH (Digital for Mental Health)(This “Affiliate” contract has been inspired by the affiliate program of Technion).
