VTT believes that supporting the interdisciplinarity of the research ecosystem including social sciences and humanities is important in the all the time more complex environment. The mentioned better recognition of the role of intermediaries should not mean any mandatory or recommended use of intermediary companies in projects which don't require any new parties outside the research project. E.g. RTOs have traditionally operated as both research and intermediary party and no other facilitators are normally needed. No measure should be put in place to relieve research organizations of responsibility in their collaboration strategy with industry, this strategy itself must be linked to their scientific programming.
The new valorisation code of practice places too much emphasis on intermediaries
