Horizonte redes

Active participation in European networks and platforms is the right strategy for any entity that wants to multiply their results and positively influence policies and programmes developed in the European Commission, (especially the Marco Programme), and its sphere. Consequently, one of the primary elements that drives the internationalisation of R&D&i is different forms of access to and active participation in European and public-private networks and partnerships.

Horizonte Redes is an ADItech initiative whose objective is to actively position Navarra in the European Networks and Partnerships with the highest level and impact on the thematic priorities established by the smart specialization strategy of Navarra 2021-2027 (S4). The value of the initiative lies in the consolidation of a work methodology that connects the regional interests of SINAI agents and companies with the antennas of Navarre in Brussels.

The Horizonte Redes project has been financed by the General Directorate for Exterior Actions of the government of Navarre since its beginning in 2020.

This initiative promotes the participation of SINAI agents, companies and public administration in different European partnerships and organizes conferences and webinars to disseminate the different topics addressed. ADItech is currently working with 21 European partnerships, 14 of which are already in operation:

En 2014 el Área Internacional de ADItech creó la Comunidad de Profesionales en Europa, conocida actualmente como “Comunidad Europa”. Este grupo, abierto a la participación, está constituido por tecnólogos, investigadores y especialistas profesionales de oficinas de gestión de proyectos europeos que pertenecen principalmente a los Centros Tecnológicos y de Investigación y Universidades más activas en Europa (e.g. UPNA, UNAV, NAITEC, CENER, AIN, CNTA, LUREDERRA, NAVARRABIOMED y CIMA).

Anualmente se celebran encuentros en los que se reúne esta Comunidad de profesionales y donde también participan invitados especiales como representantes de redes, plataformas y centros de investigación relevantes a nivel europeo. Esta comunidad fomenta el conocimiento mutuo, el aprendizaje y la colaboración entre los participantes, así como el intercambio de buenas prácticas, tanto casos de éxito como de “no-éxito”.
