About this good practice
The project aims to create a Centre of Excellence for research and innovation in the field of Ophthalmology.
The set of activities intends to encourage the creation of a positive environment to develop innovation, whose main actors are universities, SMEs and big enterprises placed in the region, which must increase their interactions with the “networks” of competences that actively operate in the sector at european and international level.
In this sense, the project allows the researchers and start-ups to reach the potential international market through a process of stimulus, selection, and promotion.
One of main aims of the project is to attract researchers, start-ups and enterprises in international panorama, and realize a new approach in the cooperation among enterprises, universities and researchers beyond the national borders. The project is included in the Development Agreement arranged by the National and Regional Government together with local actors in order to single out a strategic project using National and European Funds.
The first step is a recent call for proposals from the Abruzzo region, which activates the ESF for the internationalization of training courses and for the international attractiveness of university education institutions in international networks.
The new approach consists in stimulating the creation of startups in the regional territory also formed by international researchers through the assignment of specific research contracts.
