INPROCAP: Innovation and Green Transition in Public Procurement
INPROCAP is a three year EU financed project under the Horizon Europe CSA Action.
Strengthened procurement of Innovation through Knowledge, Networks, and Collaboration
INPROCAP strengthens the procurement of innovation in the Big Science environment by gathering and sharing knowledge from previous projects, creating new collaboration opportunities with industry, and offering targeted training to both companies, procurement advisers at Big Science Organisations, and their Industrial Liaison Officers, as well as identifying current needs among Big Science organisations. Additionally, the project brings together stakeholders from seven countries in a network, where experiences and solutions are shared across national borders in order to strengthen awareness of the benefits of procuring innovation.
