Three organisations interconnected: Junta de Extremadura through the Secretary-General of R&I and University which aims to promote and coordinate the scientific, technological and business sectors of the region; Fundecyt-Pctex is the Regional Public Innovation Agency which has the public mandate to represent the regional government in ERRIN, facilitating the participation of regional stakeholders and promoting their interests within the network; Delegation of Extremadura in Brussels which has a transversal position facilitating the connection across the department of the government. The two R&I major priorities are the sustainable management of natural resources and the application of technologies for quality of life. Based on these two priorities we rely on five areas of excellence: Agriculture, Tourism, TIC, Clean Energy and Health, which translates into the following fields of research: eco-design and new materials, software engineering and computing, chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology; agronomy, biology and ecology, electronics and automation. Therefore, Junta de Extremadura represents regional stakeholders working on these areas among which we find the University of Extremadura, the Regional Research and Technology Centre of Extremadura (CICYTEX), technology-oriented companies and agro cooperatives.
