Euroinnova Navarra

Actions

This methodology, multiplying the interaction between public and private agents, shall test 3 Action with a high innovative content:

1. Poles of Excellence

Developing and implementing the methodology for the elaboration of “R&D Integrated Projects” in specific sectors. (biotechnology, nanotechnology and renewable energies).

• Approach and objectives: “Integrated Projects” are a proposal laid down in the Second Technological Plan of Navarre. These projects, or sets of sub-projects with a common objective, seek to build not only a frame for collaborations and transfer of knowledge between the administration, enterprises, technological institutes and universities, but a cross-sectoral exchange and sharing of solutions, experiences and efforts between the different sub-projects and their participants as well.
• Activities:
  • Designing, developing and validating the methodology for “Integrated Projects” as an instrument to boost “Regional Intelligence” through the collaboration of private and public agents.
  • Testing the Innovative methodology, in the emergent sectors of Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Renewable Energies in the region of Comunidad Foral de Navarra, to subsequently transfer the experience externally and internally to other sectors and contribute towards the design of the future regional policy on technology with a clear European approach.
  • Reviewing the methodology through experience and redefining it for future application purposes in other sectors and regions.
