EASY is based on many years of strong
research and successful industrial
cooperation at MDH
Funding expected from
EASY will include
• A research programme in close
cooperation with Swedish industry
(6+6 MSEK/yr 2011-2016)
• An industrial graduate school with 15
PhD-students (4.5+4.5 MSEK/yr 2011-2016)
• Application to be submitted to KKS in September
• Letters of Intents from industrial partners required

The EASY next step
• Letter of Intets (LoIs) required from participating
companies
– May-June:
• Discussions about forms and focus of cooperation
• We are open for suggestions to get the best possible match
between company interests and EASY competence
– End of August:
• Signed LoIs from companies
– including estimated total contributions for the entire duration of
EASY (2011-2018)
» Details will in most cases be worked out later
