Applied R&D projects

,

Value proposition

In SEIUM, we deliver applied R&D to solve concrete challenges in vehicles, systems, energy, and data across land, sea, air, and space. We operate under international standards (UNECE/ISO/IEC/SAE, DO-178C/254/160, EN 17025, EN 9100, IAEA/IMO/EASA, etc.), data governance, and robust intellectual property frameworks. We deliver evidence, not just presentations: test plans, instrumented data, models/simulation, code, prototypes, and compliance dossiers.

Applied research & solution design

Architectures, algorithms, reference designs, methodologies.

Experimental development & prototyping

Rigs, hardware-in-the-loop, mock-ups, proof of concept (TRL 3–6)

Validation and pre-normative testing

Test plans linked to standards; preparation for audits and accreditable labs.

Digital twins & simulation:

CFD/FEA/HPC, multiphysics co-simulation, FMI/FMU, synthetic data.

Data/AI & industrial MLOps

Time series, predictive maintenance, 3D vision, pipelines, and model governance.

Safety, RAMS & compliance-by-design

Safety cases, SOTIF/ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434/OTA, IEC 62443/OT, AI Act.

Energy & networks

BESS/grid-forming, HVDC/FACTS, ADMS, energy communities, H₂/PtX.

Laboratory capabilities (selected)

Note: We publish the scope of certifications and audit status in “Transparency & Good Governance.”

Collaboration models

  • When: high confidentiality; 8–24 weeks.
  • Pricing: fixed price per deliverable, or time & materials (T&M) with a cap.
  • IP: options (see below).
 
 
  • When: TRL 4–7; demo sites; interoperability; pre-normative work.
  • Governance: grant agreement; foreground and exploitation plan.
 
 
  • When: quick wins, de-risking, technical due diligence.
  • Deliverables: functional demo + decision memo (go/no-go).
 
 
  • When: a 2–3 year roadmap; talent pipeline + applied R&D.
 
 

Typical deliverables (auditable).

Criteria and evidence.

,

Workflow and SLAs.

Form or meeting: problem, metrics, timelines, constraints (ethics/export), data, success criteria.

Output: Project One-Pager + NDA (if applicable).

 
 

Technical discovery, risks, data contract, RACI, ethics/export screening.

Output: SOW (objectives, deliverables, schedule, acceptance criteria) + commercial proposal.

 
 

Detailed plan; QA plan; safety plan; data plan; tools (PLM/MBSE, Git, trackers).

 
 

Development, experimentation, design reviews, hazard logs, ethics checkpoints (if applicable).

Test plan, correlation (simulation ↔ rig ↔ track/water/flight), compliance evidence.

 
 

Handover (code, models, documentation), training, runbook, lessons learned.

 
 

SOW and budget within ≤10 business days after scoping.

Team shortlist SLA (if profile CVs are required): ≤7 days.

 
 

Frequently asked questions (FAQ).

Optional: foreground owned by the company; field-of-use exclusivity; joint ownership; or publication/open source (case by case). Defined in the contract.

 
 
 

Yes. We can work under your framework or SEIUM templates, including software escrow where appropriate.

 

GDPR by design: data minimisation, encryption, restricted access, minimum retention, and data processing agreement.

 
 
 

Yes, with partner pre-review and redaction of sensitive information. For master’s projects/theses, confidential annexes.

 
 
 

We classify the content, restrict access (clean rooms), evaluate end-use, and process licenses if applicable.

 
 
 

We guarantee deliverables and evidence; outcomes are bounded by the metrics and operating conditions defined in the SOW.

 
 
 

Yes: a blended team with faculty, laboratory engineers and advanced students under supervision.
