What is the NAAC?
The National Associations Advisory Committee (NAAC) unites the 33 European National Associations (NAs) and is chaired by the ASTP Vice President NAAC, Laura Spinardi
The NAAC is an effective pipeline between the European level, the regional KTOs and their local ecosystem.
A National Association can be:
- a formal KT Association (institutional or individual memberships), or
- an informal KT association, with the intention to formalise as a National Association
What the NAAC can offer?
Each National Association plays a crucial role in the development of national knowledge transfer activities in their home country. ASTP, as a transnational association, aims at increasing the efficiency of the European innovation system, but will not be able to reach a maximum level without the support of the national associations.
The NAAC facilitates interactions with its members in the following areas:
- EU representation
- The body of knowledge (for example staff exchange, building on TT library, peer review, exchange of case studies)
- Regional capacity building knowledge transfer expertise
- European survey and impact measurement
- Professional development on European and national level, such as trainings courses
- Capacity Building National Associations (CBNA)
