National Associations Advisory Committee (NAAC)

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.
