Thanks to the support received from the State Secretariat for Research, Development and Innovation from the Spanish Ministry of Economy (in particular through the programme "Europa Redes y Gestores") CIC biomaGUNE will be able to strengthen its capabilities in both human and material resources to strengthen its internationalization through the participation in international projects mainly the Horizon 2020 program.
With the launch of the European Research, Development & Innovation Projects Unit, CIC biomaGUNE proposes to set up a structural instrument organised around several strategic priorities devised to enhance its success in securing funding from European Research Programmes, in particular Horizion 2020 for its RD&I activites, strengthen links between academic and industrial environments and promote the transfer of research results to the society and especially to the biotechnology sector. In particular CIC biomaGUNE aims at:
• Increasing the success rate and optimizing the return obtained by CIC biomaGUNE;
• Increasing the number of coordinated projects led by CIC biomaGUNE researchers;
• Working in partnership with universities, research centers and companies to develop more collaborative ventures for Horizon 2020;
• Establishing industrial partnerships to seek out collaborations with the private sector to create a scientific business network and to transferring knowledge and technologies to the marketplace.
• Facilitating and promoting the exchange and mobility of researchers, in particular through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions
