Descripción del proyecto
Cerrar la brecha entre investigación científica e innovación
La Unión Europea (UE) invierte miles de millones al año en investigación e innovación. Sin embargo, a menudo existe una brecha entre los resultados de la investigación científica y la innovación que requiere importantes inversiones financieras para salvarla. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto PATTERN, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende establecer una vía para conectar los Fondos Estructurales de la UE, que apoyan el desarrollo económico regional, con los programas de investigación científica. El equipo del proyecto utilizará Malta como banco de pruebas para que la UE comprenda cómo desplegar proyectos piloto a gran escala con fondos de desarrollo regional. Documentará los procesos y preparará tres proyectos piloto a gran escala, analizando los datos de tráfico desarrollados a partir del proyecto de investigación MARVEL. La aplicación PATTERN apoya las estrategias RIS3 y los objetivos de reducción de las emisiones de carbono, lo cual aumenta las posibilidades de éxito al obtener financiación para el desarrollo regional.
Objetivo
The EU invests billions of Euros in research every year. However, that investment is actually made in research *and* innovation. While innovation is one of the keys to economic growth, it is rarely the case that the results of research projects make the transition into an innovation setting where they can assist in achieving the desired economic growth. The gap between scientific project output and innovation project input is difficult to bridge, often requiring significant financial investment. Many EU structural funds support economic regional development and the purpose of this project is to find a pathway to reach these regional development funds from a starting point in the scientific research programme.
We will achieve this through a trial, using Malta as a test-bench for the whole of the EU, to learn what needs to be done to achieve a wider deployment of large-scale pilots, supported by regional development funds. The processes and actions we undertake will be documented, adapted for use more widely and three large-scale pilot studies will be prepared. The trial and pilot applications will analyse traffic data to understand demands on infrastructure, it is developed from the outputs of the MARVEL research project. The PATTERN application satisfies important aspects of the RIS3 strategies of all three regions, which are members of the Widening community, and helps to also reach targets associated with carbon reduction and climate change strategies. This gives the PATTERN project a strong likelihood of being successful in its planned effort, post project, to use regional development funding. In doing so, we will finalise our pathway documentation and provide a roadmap for other researchers to use when pursuing activities on the innovation vector.
The inter-disciplinary skills of the PATTERN consortium partners have been put together to ensure success. In the consortium, we have technical experts, business sustainability experts and funding experts.
