Project idea
The process of discovery and development of drugs is ever longer and costly.
It happens in an environment of research teams from different organizations
(coming from the pharmaceutical industry, academia, SMEs, etc.) often
placed in distant locations where there the need for constant discussions
and interactions. Those communications seldom take place based on
graphical elements (3D, 2D, images…) that might require strict confidentiality
due to their high industrial value. Consequently, the majority of interactions is
performed in presence meetings, which is costly and time consuming.
The idea is to develop a software that enables research teams from the drug
discovery and development sector (pharmaceutical, biotechnological, etc) to
collaborate from a distance and discuss in real time over graphical elements
(3D molecules, result tables, images, etc.) without the need of face-to-face
meetings so often, accelerating the entire process.

Basic Characteristics
• Small-medium collaborative project
• Funding: around 3.000.000 €
• Length: maximum of 3 years
• Related fields: IST – eHealth, IST – eWork, GROWTH, Quality of
Life, etc. Possible topics:
• IST II.2.2: New methods of work and electronic commerce - Smart organisations
To explore and validate novel technologies, applications, architectures and practices
aimed at supporting the transformation of profit and non-profit entities into "smart"
organisations: knowledge driven, internetworked, dynamically adaptive to new
organisational forms and practices, learning as well as agile in their ability to create and
exploit the opportunities offered by the digital economy.”
• IST II.1.5: Promoting broad adoption of eCommerce & eWork in regional and sectoral
settings.
• GROWTH 1.4.1: New methods of organisation, work and human capital improvement
The aim is to develop new organisational and work practices together with developments
in industrial products, processes and services, and the appropriate human capital,
competence and skills. RTD should address methodologies and tools for efficient
organisation, knowledge and technology management, and support close integration and
networking of people, organisations and technologies, recognising the importance for
innovation / competitiveness of better procurement methods and decision making tools.

Project objectives
LINK3D aims to develop, test and prepare the commercial exploitation of
a real-time, interactive distant collaboration environment for professionals
working in an strategically crucial field: Molecular Discovery (MD). The
specific objectives of the project are:
1) To gather detailed requirements of MD professionals in terms of tele
collaboration.
2) To develop a set of software applications, configuring a real-time telecollaboration environment for Drug Discovery professionals.
3) To test the system in real-life environments, both for interorganisational and intra-organisational collaborative settings and
considering the different types of actors involved (industry, academia).
4) To analyse the potential market, the business possibilities of the
LINK3D system, and prepare its commercial exploitation, considering
extension to other sectors.

• RAM of efforts
• 3 steps:
• Relative weight of each WP
• Estimate the total effort amount
• Estimate the breakdown of efforts per task
Hint: the total amount can be estimated dividing
the total funding by 5000-10000 Euro
(depending on the consortium profile).
Hint: Estimate the relation between R, W, I:
• W= 2 I
• R= 3 I

• Construct the budget
• Take into account the type of expenditure:
personnel, equipment, consumables, travel,
subcontracting, indirect costs.
• Take into account that funding agencies do
not always cover 100% of the direct costs of
the project (difference between “budget” and
“funding”).
