The mission of INCLIVA’s International Projects Unit (UPI) is to promote the internationalisation of health research in the different areas of the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia, its health department, as well as various research groups of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Valencia and the Carlos Simon Foundation. To this end, the UPI INCLIVA supports research staff in their participation in European and international R&D&I funding programmes and comprehensively manages the projects obtained.
Functions
- Expert participation in defining design processes of Europe-wide calls
- Analysis and dissemination of international calls, directing each group to proposals of specific interest in their area
- Positioning INCLIVA in national and international events and forums to promote research carried out by INCLIVA’s research groups and seek potential collaborators
- Training research staff in proposal preparation and international project management
- Supporting research teams in preparing and reviewing coordinated proposals and in participating as a partner
- Scientific-technical and administrative management of projects awarded, together with resource management and economic justification
- Maintaining ongoing links with national and European organizations involved in European fund structuring
- Positioning the unit’s own research staff as expert assessors of projects within different European Commission calls
