In the last years the research group RSC has been actively involved in important European
and national research projects that have allowed a deep know-how and expertise not only in the technical fields. SRC has a sound experience in the process of proposal preparation and consortium formation, distribution of tasks and resources, internal project progress meetings and meetings with the EC (contract negotiation, hearings and reviews).
Also, SRC has experience in actively helping to the definition of standards with contributions of its experts collaborating with ETSI, specifically with STF technical body.
The experience in participating in calls for proposals includes IST FP5 and FP6, ETSI call
for experts, European Space Agency ESA, Celtic Iniciative (Eureka); and within national
calls, R+D+I National Programme: R+D projects (CICYT), Technical Research Promotion
(PROFIT), Ingenio 2010 (CENIT); and regional government and university calls.
Additionally, the group is member of the following European Technology Platforms (ETPs): ISI, Nem, eMobility, ARTEMIS, Nessi, and the Spanish equivalent eNem, eSec, eMov, INES.
