On October 26, an evaluation panel was visiting the IO Center, to have meetings with the center managers and core team, representatives from the research partners and industry partners and the PhD students. We will receive a preliminary report from the evaluation within about two weeks, where the IO Center can comment on the factual contents. The final report is expected in November/December, and the Board of the Innovation Division in RCN will decide on possible extended funding of the program in December or early January.
Ole Klingsheim, IO coordinator in ConocoPhillips shares his company's experiences with being a industry partner of the IO Center, with the evaluation panel.
