CapTechs network
sxc.hu For Research and Technology a network of experts operates below the level of the Steering Board in R&T formation and the R&T Points of Contacts.
For this purpose the CapTechs were designed in the early days of the Agency. Each of them focuses on particular technologies associated to the different military domains and the technologies associated with it, and bring together a network of experts drawn from the participating Member States, industry, research institutes, academic institutions and agencies (European and national).
There are twelve CapTechs in total, grouped in three main areas.
All CapTechs function under the responsibility of an EDA CapTech moderator. They meet regularly, but they also communicate on a daily basis, using the Agency’s Extranet Fora.
The aim of the CapTechs is to propose R&T activities in response to agreed defence capability needs and to generate projects accordingly. The management and the planning of the research activity in each technology domain contributes to establish Strategic Research Agendas (SRA), thus to improving the generation of R&T collaboration between Member States.
