MED-SPRING promotes brokerage and venturing events for increasing the cooperation among the EU and the MPCs in Research, Technology and Innovation. Under the “brokerage to strengthen cooperation” actions, the project aims at strengthening the cooperation among researchers, SME and other stakeholders. Particularly, it facilitates the networking and partnership cooperation/networking to participate in EU research and innovation programmes as well as MS/AC and MPC programmes. It aims at increasing research networking (MPCs and EU research actors) to facilitate participation of MPCs researchers and research stakeholders in the ERA and specifically H2020. Under the “brokerage and venturing for innovation” actions, MED-SPRING aims at facilitating bridging between research and innovation through the creation of private-public and research-enterprise partnerships.
It also aims at bridging local and regional actors, helping them to join forces and enhance clustering for innovation. The EC (RTD-EEAS-DEVCO-ENTR) will be involved in these actions to enhance synergies and identify brokerage objectives beyond H2020. Synergies with Thematic NCP Network projects are also vital, where co-organizing brokerage events would amplify the sought impact of such events. With regard to innovation, the MIRA project working group involved in EMIS (Euro-Mediterranean Innovation Space) will also be involved in relevant events to frame and harmonize cluster level brokerage with the conceptual architecture of the Euro-Mediterranean Innovation Space.
MED-SPRING will also carry out an analysis of current clustering for innovation in the region and an analysis of innovation conditions in the Mediterranean, in order to support the brokerage for innovation actions.
Scenarios Assessment and Transitions towards a Sustainable Euro-Mediterranean in 2030
The MEDPRO team is delighted to share with you the final policy paper on the overall findings of the MEDiterranean PROspects project authored by project-coordinator Dr. Rym Ayadi and project-partner Dr. Carlo Sessa. This policy paper examines and assesses various possible scenarios that could play out in EU-Mediterranean relations over the next two decades and offer recommendations towards long-term sustainable socio-economic development in the region.
