 Project Characteristics, IP Ownership, Funding

▪ Projects should be maximum 6 to 12 months duration. For bigger projects, partner should
apply in phases
© La Fondation Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information

▪ Project’s application should be from an institute and not an individual

▪ La Fondation does not claim/expect IP ownership of the projects supported
▪ La Fondation expects ‘spirit of sharing’:
▪ ▷ Willingness to share the content / output, learning content developed with La Fondation and
other institutes
▪ ▷ Share the know-how and learnings from the Project with other learners and related communities

▪ Funding expectation should be appropriate to project scope, complexity, deliverables

▪ Applying organization should do self funding of around 20% of the project cost
