For these projects, how did members of Cosmetic Valley collaborate?
Each project in Cosmetic Valley is validated by a steering committee, which includes the main holding company for the project and one or more industrial partners. A project is elaborated on a symbiotic basis—i.e., each company involved benefits from the collaboration. Subcontractors can be used with a preference to those who are part of Cosmetic Valley, for example, university labs can bring their know-how to help further projects. Meetings with the technical committee take place on a regular basis in order to steer the project along, although the results are kept confidential until they are protected with both a patent and publication.
