Title: Innovative solutions in Systems Biology.
Research group: Innovation Unit
The objective of this project is to lay the foundations to create the UCIE (Scientific Unit for Business Innovation) of the I2SysBio and allow the institute to appear on the Innovation map of the Community of Valencia as a singular innovation tool of excellence for its socio-economic development and its projection in an international environment.
Through this project, an innovation agent has been hired that will allow us to:
- Promote actions aimed at promoting the visibility of I2SysBio in the technological and business network of the Community of Valencia with a national and international projection.
- Carry out the development of its own Strategic Innovation Plan and establish priority lines of action within a framework of quality and excellence with the aim of "doing it right, as a principle and from the beginning".
The main work of the Innovation Agent would consist of developing a strategic plan for the search, negotiation and coordination of ways of collaboration between different research groups (of this or other research and / or technological centers), as well as establishing bridges of communication with companies in the biotechnology sector that could be interested in exploiting the results of the research or that require help for the development of R&D&I programs, mainly those that are in our closest environment, but not just them. All of this in response to our vocation to manage in the most efficient way possible all the human and technological resources at our disposal to speed up the generation of innovative solutions to the different problems that companies present to us, and also those prioritized by both local administrations, national or international.
