USE-IT-WISELY Innovative continuous upgrades of high investment product-services

Coordinator: TEKNOLOGIAN TUTKIMUSKESKUS VTT OY (FI)

In the past, customers invested in high cost, long service-life products. Today, they demand complex product-services capable of adapting to new customer goals and rapidly changing markets. The Use-it-wisely project will enable European manufacturers to operate successfully within this new paradigm.The project will investigate a new business model that implements continuous product-service adaptation through a sequence of small innovative steps.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €6.4M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3.2 years from 2013-09-01 to 2016-11-30.
