5 th Framework Programme Support Services for participants in Spain Introduction The International Innovation Units (in spanish, Unidades de Innovación Internacional, UII) are offices created under the Euroingenio-Tecnoeuropa Programme to increase the participation of spanish companies in the 7th EU RTD Framework Programme. As the manager of the Tecnoeuropa Programme, the Spanish Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) finances both the creation of the International Innovation Units and the results obtained as they involve new companies in FP7. The International Innovation Units are linked to technology platforms or business associations. Their main aim is to help spanish companies to identify opportunities, to prepare proposals and to succeed in the FP7 and increase the number of proposals coordinated by spanish companies. Also, other entities (universities, R & D companies, technology centers, etc and other players) will receive valuable information and support about potential opportunities and partners. This catalog contains a brief description of the International Innovation Units operating in Spain. During the preparation stage, the participants in the proposals will find in these International Innovation Units, assistance to create the consortium, guidance to improve the overall quality of the proposal and expertise in participating in the Framework Programmes. Anyone interested in finding a spanish partner to participate in FP7 could have in the International Innovation Units a sound source of information, contacts and expert guidance in their specific technological areas.
