Financial Support
This is a work in progress. The CANEUS Workshop Committee is in communication with various parties in creating an approach, which will be adopted by first creating customer demand from the eventual end-use customers (e.g. NASA, ESA, JAXA) prior to setting up the financing for the pilot project.
IP Issues
CANEUS will actively assist the consortium CANEUS will actively assist the consortium in the management of knowledge and intellectual property through mutual agreements that preserve the rights of the participating entities as well as the new business to be formed. The Pilot Project partners will enter into a CANEUS mediated Consortium Agreement, which takes into account the features of the new business’ IP regimen. In this sense, the Consortium Agreement will be comprehensive and cover areas of IP ownership and protection of knowledge, publication and dissemination of knowledge during and upon completion of the project, as well as the issue of granting of access rights.
Dedicated International Collaboration
The CANEUS Pilot Project Workshop Committee will examine the types of international collaborations that best benefit the new business entity and help assemble a team composed of representatives from appropriate institutions.
There are already two solid alliances between the Institute of Biomedical Problems, Moscow, Russia and the Neurotechnology Laboratory, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, which will be brought to bear on proposed consortium.
THE CANEUS Bioastronautics Team would consist of a multidisciplinary group of engineers, physiologist and materials scientists in constant interface with end-users at space agencies.
The strategic alliance will involve the following parties:
Sumitra Rajagoplan, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal
Brian Dunaway, Boeing/NASA JSC
Ebrahim Ghafar-Zadeh, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal
Faycal Mounaim, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal (tbc)
Roger Blais, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal
William Atwell, Boeing/NASA JSC
Valery Polyakov, IMBP, Moscow
Sylvain Martel, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal (tbc)
David Juncker, Mcgill University (tbc)
