Technology Maturity Level Workshop at Fraunhofer IZM in Munich

On the 14th of February 2008, a 4M Technology Maturity Workshop took place at IZM-Munich. The goal of the workshop was to identify key indicators with regard to the phases of development of Technology and Applications. The organising team from the MEC, Cardiff University, would like to thank all the participants for the substantial and interesting inputs provided during the various sessions.

The ultimate objective of this work is to obtain a comprehensive picture of the distribution of the 4M projects portfolio along a technology maturity scale.

At the moment, the information from this workshop is being analysed to develop a questionnaire which will then be used to carry out structured interviews with the 4M researchers who worked on, or are working on projects in the 4M portfolio.
