FAQ

Purposes of the processing

The processing has two purposes: first, to identify experts in some particular knowledge domain, e.g., experts in phonic isolation in vehicles or experts in motor control systems. The second purpose is to contact those professionals to ask them some questions about one innovation in their field of expertise. This contact has no commercial goal whatsoever but it is indeed in a legitimate interest of having an expert’s advice.
