Description
The Regional Strategy of Research and Innovation for an Intelligent Specialization (RIS3) of Castilla y León 2014-2020, establish an strategic objectives, such as reinforcing a more competitive and sustainable economic model troughout the business innovation, the resources efficient use and promoting multidisciplinar collaboration between knowledge-generating agents and knowledge transfer; improving relationships at the regional system of R&D, establishing mecanisms to promote business collaboration, multidisciplinar collaboration between researchers and the transference of knowledge and technology.
In line with Castilla y León RIS3 strategy, the capacities of the Technology Centres with venue in Castilla y León want to be enhanced and thereby contribute to improve the community business network competitivity, specially of the SMEs, through the knowledge and support in their different technological needs.
This grant line, which first call was realized in 2020, has as an objective the support to Technology Centres of Castilla y León community to execute investments in the research infrastructures, in order to strengthen theri technological and scientific capacities, improving their positioning and at the same time reinforce their transference and support activities to the business network.
The grants, under this order, are co-financed by the European Fund of Regional Development (FEDER) and is framed in the Operative Programme FEDER2014-2020 of Castilla y León approved by Decisión C (2015) 4921, 14 july of 2015.

Sustainable Biofuel Generation and Purification Process
The project is focus on the valorisation of agro-industrial organic residues for the production of biomethane, through anaerobic digestion processes. Also, the use of technologies for the treatment of gaseous and liquid streams will be based on membrane contactors and reverse osmosis membranes, respectively. On the other hand, pretreatment of samples with microwaves will also be studied.
New equipment in advanced digital manufacturing
This proposal focuses on the Fab LAb (Fabrication Laboratory) concept, which is a digital fabrication workshop for personal use, i.e. a space for the production of physical objects on a personal or local scale that brings together machines controlled by computers. Its particularity lies in its size and its strong link with society rather than industry.
Development of research lines on air quality and agro-ecological processes.
The research lines of AIR QUALITY and AGRO-ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES seek to achieve sustainable solutions to alleviate environmental problems such as poor air quality, urban green regeneration, environmental well-being in cities, management and restoration of urban watersheds, sustainability in the use of resources and energy in cities, conservation of urban ecosystems…
