This resource consists of a list of key questions which should be considered by anyone contemplating a collaborative activity between an ERN (or ERNs) and Industry (whether single company or multiple). The questions stem from the survey initially used to support the selection of the Together4RD pilot projects, updated in light of the the lessons learned from the pilot initiation process.
It is intended as merely a guide, for all parties (public and private), to help stakeholders ensure they enter into co-creation and negotiations with the best chance of success. Specific and realistic expectations are important, to maximise the efficiency of those early discussions, and hopefully avoid some of the pitfalls that can occur and delay or even jeopardise a public-private collaboration. This should be viewed in connection with Tool 9 (Lessons Report on the Experiences and Learnings from the first ERN-Industry pilots supported by Together4RD) and Tool 10 (Key recommendations for both ERNs and industry from the experiences of the first ERN-Industry pilots).
