Conference at the University of Valladolid (UVa)

Venue: Valladolid (Spain)

Date: April 12, 2018

In this conference, held at the University of Valladolid and under the heading ‘Intelligent specialization strategies in Europe 2020: from political theory to its practical implementation’, the principal investigator of the MACbioIDi project, Mr. Juan Ruiz Alzola, presented several strategic policies in the European Union (EU) and its concrete realization in European and national calls.

The strategies of smart specialization, which all regions and EU member states have had to implement, were specifically discussed. Two concretions of these policies will be presented, one of them with a perspective of multidisciplinary integration (the application of astrophysical concepts in medical technology) and the second, with a vision of development aid, in particular, the development of inclusive medical technologies activities carried out in the context of the Interreg MACbioIDi project, in which European, African and North-American institutions participate.
