LONG-STANDING EXPERIENCE IN SPANISH RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

ABOUT US

At CIRCE, we have built up a wealth of experience taking part in national research programmes along with businesses or other research centres who we guide through the process to achieve common goals.

HELPING YOU GROW

Through these initiatives, we assist companies in applying for the funding they need to carry out their R&D&I activities, which helps to develop know-how, technology and innovative services that boost the competitiveness of the Spanish production sector.

Projects (2014-2017)

LAST PROJECTS

AVER

The main goal is to optimise the running of a mini vertical axis wind turbine and prove that this kind of technology can be used in electrical microgeneration.

OPTINAGUA

The main goal of the project is the creation, implementation and validation of a software tool to perform the analysis of water use and energy efficiency in agro-industry

DONO GREEN

The goal of this project focuses in the estimation, quantification and reduction of the carbon footprint of the products commercialized by DONODARE, along its whole value chain.

NEW CERVERA NETWORK

As experts in preparing submissions for Collaboration Challenges and other funding programmes organized by CDTI, we at CIRCE are the perfect ally to guide you with the new projects you would like to fund through the new Cervera Network. The programme will share out €600 m as follows:

€500 m in credit for SMEs and mid-cap companies.
€80 m for a guarantee fund offering credit to companies.
€20 m in subsidies for a new Technology Centre programme.

PRESENCE ON
EUROPEAN PLATFORMS

As well as our widespread international presence, CIRCE also plays an active role in domestic and regional associations and platforms. A significant example would be managing the Technical Secretariat for the Spanish Electric Grid Platform or having founded the Aragon Energy Cluster.

Our involvement in these areas allows CIRCE to discover the trends in Spain’s national productive sectors and build closer ties with every link in the innovation chain, fostering synergies that will give rise to projects submitted to national research programmes.
