The R&D Regional Plan (PRIDI) seeks
to fulfill a relevant function in the context of a society
of knowledge, whose postulates are aligned with the aim
stated by the European Union in the Lisbon Summit: to become
the most competitive and dynamic knowledge economy in the
world.
The Spanish Government has promoted the
INGENIO 2010 Program, which seeks to close the ‘scientific-technological
gap’ in relation with the rest of the UE countries.
The Government of Cantabria has also prioritized
this policy, by presenting it as one of the twelve strategic
axes of the so-called ‘2004-2007 Plan de Gobernanza’.
