ACIES, partner of SPIDIA* project (FP7), a European and high-profile research project
| Objectives and features of the project |
• |
SPIDIA, collaborative project gathering hi-tech SMEs, industry and public and private research centres, aims at increasing the efficiency of in vitro diagnostics in Europe through the creation of new standards for the collection, handling and use of blood, tissue, tumour and other samples. The project is expected to last 48 months and its global budget is more than 13 million euros. The consortium, made of 16 companies and research organisations from 11 countries, is led by QIAGEN, Europe’s largest biotechnology company and a global leader in molecular sample and assay technologies. |

| ACIES mission and performance |
• |
In the proposal set-up phase, ACIES has suggested the adjunction of partners so as to strengthen the consortium, and advised partners on the accuracy of scientific and non-scientific contents against the European Commission demands. The evaluation report from Community experts has given the proposal a 14/15 mark, including 4.5/5 for the management section, designed by ACIES and validated by partners, and 5/5 on the impact section. |
• |
In addition, ACIES has played a crucial role in the completion of negotiation by contributing actively to budget, scientific and organizational reconfigurations. |
• |
Finally, ACIES as management partner of this European and high-profile research project, implements managerial methods and tools in accordance with the EC expectations in terms of content and timescale. ACIES also contributes to the implementation of efficient operational and decision-making processes, e.g. in offering partners training sessions customised to the project and ensuring full compliance with FP7 rules. ACIES is proud to contribute throughout the four years to this flagship European research project. |
