Paztan City Council is committed to providing a stable space for research and innovation in rural areas

Elizondo – The Baztan City Council intends to promote a stable space linked to research and innovation in rural areas on the Lekaroz Campus, and for this it has the support of the Department of Business Policy, International Projection and the work of the Navarre Government. Thus, in Thursday’s regular plenary session, the city council approved a budget amendment of €14,500 (excluding VAT) to draft the draft and submit it to European aid. The proposal received 8 votes for EH Bildu, Baztango Ezkerra and Geroa Bai and 3 against Navarra Suma. The Navarre government will support the remaining half of the budget.

The city council of Baztan wanted in recent years to encourage a continuous reflection on the rural environment, which has been embodied in various seminars, summer schools and various meetings. One of the most notable results was the extensive network of contacts left by this path: UPV, UPNA, AgroParisTech, Eusko Ikaskuntza, Aranzadi Science Society, Uharte Center for Contemporary Art, INTIA, Euskal Herriko Laborantza Ganbara …

As a result of these initiatives, the Baztan City Council saw the potential to create a multidisciplinary rural research and innovation space: food systems, demography, culture, landscape, biodiversity, urban planning and architecture, among others.

After speaking and thinking with the various agents interested in the project, it was necessary to apply for cross-border and/or European aid and to hire a consultant in order to prepare the technical proposals. The approved budget amendment responds to this.

In this way, the consultancy to be contracted will cooperate in the organization of the Cross-Border Symposium to be held in the fall at the Lekaroz Campus, in the development of the programme, in the identification and communication of participants and in the conference itself.

Likewise, the consultancy to be employed should identify and contact, in cooperation with the three entities mentioned, agents who may be interested in participating in the Centre. Finally, you must write the project file so that you can introduce yourself to the calls of Euroregional and Poctefa.
