Reflektioner/kommentarer Egen identitet viktigt! Klarhet över IPR också internt inom EC Identifierade ansvarsförhållande hos industripartnern (forskning, ekonomi, kontrakt) Klarhet över sekretess också internt inom EC Industrins förväntningar vad EC levererar, tydlighet, uppriktighet Högskolans förväntningar på industripartners Alla företag olika! Styrelse med engagemang Föreståndare med engagemang och legitimitet www.htu.se
