“How-to-guide” for an applied research idea summary

This “how-to-guide” intends to help researchers compose a summary of their applied research idea, taking into account market and business issues, so that it can be evaluated for the feasibility of resulting in a successful innovation (license of technology, spin-off, IPO). The necessity of an applied research idea summary lies in the ascertainment that most researchers are reluctant of disclosing any information regarding their ideas, especially when they are at the initial stage of applied research projects. Nevertheless researchers need a description of their idea, summarising its major aspects, in order to attract investors, strategic partners etc. In this way, the creation of an integrated applied research summary that would contain all the important data regarding an applied research idea will be a powerful tool in order for the researcher to attract funding and allies without jeopardizing by disclosing confidential data.
