Abstract :
Summary form only given. CAT-SCIENCE Bt, has been working since summer 1998 as a scientific consultancy company in the field of experimental fusion plasma physics. The strategic idea of the company is to use the special knowledge of researchers in governmental institutions by involving them in limited time projects as external experts. We think that in this way we enhance knowledge transfer from the academic to the industrial sector. A special problem of R&D companies in Eastern Europe is the lack of capital on the other hand the advantage is the relatively low staff costs. Taking these into account the company aims at providing services in special fields in R&D
