The NoGAP consortium is composed of 13 organisations from 6 countries of which 3 are EU members (Germany, Romania, Slovakia) and 3 are members of the Eastern Partnership (Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia). In order to improve mobility between research, business and innovation, interrelated tandem relations between research organisations and innovation support services are established.

 The NoGAP project wants to:

• identify the main drivers and obstacles of closer links between academia and the market in the field of secure, clean and efficient energy in the Eastern Partnership Region
• develop a best practice methodology to enhance successful commercialisation of research results and to improve the management of these results
• develop innovation support services to foster existing and establish new strategic partnerships
• assess the opportunities for the establishment of sustainable Technology Transfer Centres (TTC) in the participating partner countries on the basis of existing structures and good practice
• improve the competencies of researchers, entrepreneurs and multiplicators by organising trainings
• develop a list of pilot activities to foster mutually beneficial public-private-partnerships between EU and Eastern Partnership countries in the energy sector
• create and organise twinnings between the regions
• promote networking between EU and Eastern Partnership countries.
