C) INTEGRATION
LSDS can fully participate as a “member” in any project, from initial application for founding to final dissemination of results.
An indicative budget will be prepared at no cost. It will be taken into account: the complexity of the problem, the software requirements involved, the deadlines, the level of integration in research, and the customer entity type (Internal, Mixed, External, as for UAB rates tipology *).
Once accepted the indicative budget, a detailed budget will be generated from UAB and the main researcher, institution or entity will have to sign up as acceptance.
D) AGREEMENTS
The consolidation of collaborative activities with other entities and the promotion of knowledge transfer networks to tackle major projects, can lead the LSDS to consider signing agreements as partner from UAB. We actually have agreements with:
- Hospital Consortium "Parc Taulí".
- Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, CSIC.
- Faculty of Political Sciences and Sociology, UAB.
