The association Spin System has been formed in Brussels in January 2017 to develop a permanent collaborative platform addressed to, and composed by: researchers, private companies (particularly SMEs), universities and research centres, non-profit organisations. The target members operate in the field of European research and innovation policies and projects in strategic and interlink policy areas.
The association aims at promoting and enhancing the collaborative research on innovative solutions and processes among its members, in order to make the most of the opportunities offered by the Single Market’s unexpressed potential and the European research funding opportunities.
Spin System will offer its members a two-folded opportunity:
- To provide members with a permanent representation in Brussels to boost their relations with EU institutions, to access to first-hand information and to establish networking opportunities with other European organisations based in Brussels.
- To be part of a hub that aggregates multidisciplinary actors with different perspectives coming from several Member States, and that can serve as a platform where to conceive and develop innovative project ideas and where to set up project consortia starting from the Association’s members.
