As everything else, research, development and innovation are under pressure of different types; strategic pressure; what areas to focus on, what profile to build, how to stay ahead of competition; partnerships, funding applications, monitoring and quality pressure; how to get the most out of the actions, including continuous preparation for innovation.

 

Since almost 20 years, I have worked with different organisations and companies involved in Research, Development and Innovation;

 

to which I have provided support in terms of strategic positioning and preparation of new research projects, many of them EU FP projects (since FP3), start-up and management of projects, and monitoring of ongoing research.

 

It’s an exciting work area, and my profound motivation is to work

for knowledge production and innovation, with an impact on competitiveness.
