IBERIFIER, a flagship project in Navarra during the 5th Europe Week

The IBERIFIER Plus project was presented as a flagship initiative in Navarra in the field of research and digital innovation during a technical workshop held at the IRIS Navarra Digital Innovation Hub, as part of the 5th Europe Week in Navarra. The event focused on European funding opportunities for digital transformation projects and was organised in collaboration with the Directorate-General for External Action of the Government of Navarra.

Throughout the session, the key aspects of the Digital Europe Programme 2025–2027 were addressed. This programme is the European Commission’s main instrument to support the digital transition of companies, public administrations and other organisations. In this context, IBERIFIER Plus was highlighted as an example of a project aligned with European priorities in cooperation, applied research and the strengthening of the digital space.

Representing the project, Ramón Salaverría, coordinator of IBERIFIER, took part in two key segments of the programme. First, he presented IBERIFIER Plus as a success case within the Digital Europe Programme, sharing his experience coordinating a European project and outlining its journey from securing funding to implementation. He then participated in a roundtable discussion reflecting on the opportunities, benefits and barriers associated with participation in European projects, offering expert insights based on the consortium’s direct experience.

The event combined an institutional perspective with practical guidance and real-world experiences, highlighting the role of IBERIFIER as a strategic project within the European digital research and innovation ecosystem, as well as the importance of such forums in showcasing the talent and research capacity present in Navarra.


IBERIFIER, proyecto referente en Navarra durante la V Semana de Europa

El proyecto IBERIFIER Plus fue presentado como una iniciativa de referencia en Navarra en el ámbito de la investigación y la innovación digital durante una jornada técnica celebrada en el Polo de Innovación Digital IRIS Navarra, en el marco de la V Semana de Europa en Navarra. El encuentro estuvo dedicado a las oportunidades de financiación europea para proyectos de transformación digital y fue organizado junto a la Dirección General de Acción Exterior del Gobierno de Navarra.

En el transcurso de la jornada se abordaron las claves del programa Europa Digital 2025–2027, principal instrumento de la Comisión Europea para apoyar la transición digital de empresas, administraciones públicas y entidades. En este contexto, IBERIFIER Plus fue destacado como un ejemplo de proyecto alineado con las prioridades europeas en cooperación, investigación aplicada y fortalecimiento del espacio digital.

En representación del proyecto, Ramón Salaverría, coordinador de IBERIFIER, participó en dos momentos destacados del programa. Por un lado, presentó a IBERIFIER Plus como caso de éxito en el marco del programa Europa Digital, compartiendo su experiencia en la coordinación de un proyecto europeo y su recorrido desde la obtención de financiación hasta su desarrollo. Posteriormente, intervino en una mesa redonda en la que se reflexionó sobre las oportunidades, beneficios y barreras asociadas a la participación en proyectos europeos, aportando una visión experta basada en la experiencia directa del consorcio.

La jornada combinó visión institucional, orientación práctica y experiencias reales, y puso de relieve el papel de IBERIFIER como proyecto estratégico dentro del ecosistema europeo de investigación e innovación digital, así como la importancia de este tipo de foros para visibilizar el talento y la capacidad investigadora existente en Navarra.
