Within the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) and the research and innovation strategy for smart specialization of Catalonia (RIS3CAT), the Catalan government plans to develop a series of actions and programs R+D+i in the period 2014-2020. It is an initiative with which we want to support the generation and development of innovative projects.

One of the goals promoted by the European Union has to do with the launch of a range of strategies for research and innovation for smart specialization, which are capable of enhancing economic specialization and knowledge and innovation potential of each territory.
