International Projects
She was lead researcher for Australia in a European Union (EU) project Product Service Systens along Life Cycle (ProSSaLiC) under the European Community’s Seventh Framework funding programme. This project is based on the idea of service as a system of interacting parts that include people, technology, processes and businesses, and aims to facilitate the deployment of a collaborative scheme focused on the exchange of the knowledge required to develop new methodologies, models, methods and ICT tools to support a Product-Service System (PPS) throughout its Life Cycle phases. This project is led by Università Degli Studi Di Bergamo in Italy and involves nine countries (Denmark, Israel, Japan, UK, USA, Japan, Brazil and Australia). It is funded by the EU.
Claudine was co-investigator in an international project entitled ‘Capability building among Malaysian manufacturers towards achieving Malaysia’s New Economic Model’ with researchers from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia and Aston University, UK. The research stems from the declining contribution of manufacturing to economic growth in Malaysia and the need to review the manufacturing agenda and undertake more value added, high technology production that can sustain the competitiveness of its industry in global markets. The study is funded by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education, based on a national competitive grant under the Fundamental Research Grants Scheme in 2011.
She was also involved in an international research collaboration on Organisational forms in New Product Development Systems achieving Sustained Innovation Performance led by by Dr.ir.Petra de Weerd-Nederhof, Associate Professor, Organisation studies and Innovation, School of Business, Public Administration and Technology at the University of Twente, the Netherlands.
