National Associations Advisory Committee (NAAC)

The NAAC is one of ASTP’s governing bodies, uniting 35 European National Associations from 28 countries, plus three Global Guests since 2024.

Chaired by ASTP Vice President NAAC, Laura Spinardi, it strengthens Europe’s innovation ecosystem by fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration.

As a European-level representative, the NAAC advocates for knowledge transfer, ensuring its role in innovation is recognized and supported. By promoting cross-border synergies, it helps shape the future of knowledge transfer and innovation.
