Engage in mutually beneficial collaborations
Although most collaboration start at a small scale, some of them may evolve into a full-scale mutually beneficial partnerships. In this case, a Master Agreement is negotiated upfront, so as to avoid additional negotiation when a new project is initiated. Following the general terms of the Master Agreement, Specific Agreements are then drafted on multiple fields of mutual research interest, and simultaneously carried out by top CRG scientist in close collaboration with corporate partners.
