Invitation to tender for the selection of research bodies and centres, including the JRC, uni ­
versities or undertakings to provide scientific and technical services to support the European
Commission to carry out activities of dissemination and optimization of R&D results in the

framework of a competitive approach

( 95 / C 185 / 14 )

1 . Contracting authority : European Commission,
Directorate-General XIII, Telecommunications,
Information and Exploitation of Research, Direc ­
torate D, Administrative Unit D. 1, Jean Monnet
Building, C4 / 11, L-2920 Luxembourg .

2 . Services to be provided : Decision No 1110 / 94 / EC

of the European Parliament and of the Council of
26 . 4 . 1994 ( OJ no L 126 of 18 . 5 . 1994 ), adopting
the Fourth Framework Programme of Community
activities in the field of research, technological devel ­
opment and demonstration, specifies the activities to
be carried out within the framework of a competitive
approach . These activities are defined in the specific
programme for research and development, including
demonstration, to be carried out for the European
Community by the JRC on the one hand and, on the
other hand, by means of activities within the
framework of a competitive approach and intended
for scientific and technical support to Community
policies, adopted by Council Decision No
94 / 918 / EC of 15 . 12 . 1995 ( OJ no L 361 of
31 . 12 . 1994 ).

In the frame of the competitive support activities,
DG XIII / D foresees the provision of scientific and
technical services in order to enable the validation,
the adaptation and, the technology transfer of the
research results and technologies resulting mainly
from the JRC research activities and whose intel ­
lectual property rights belong to the Community .
These services will contribute to the promotion of

methods, techniques and instruments makjng it
possible to oVercome the barriers to the exploitation
of the research results and the technology transfer in
certain strategic activity sectors .

select appropriate research bodies and centres,
including the JRC, universities or undertakings, or
consortium of them, able to carry out successfully
the provision of the requested services subdivided in
