Maria Roca Puigserver

Senior Project Manager at FundingBox. I'm working to foster the access of SMEs to EU innovations and EU projects opportunities and boost their competitiveness. I have been working in Brussels representing the interest of the Valencian industry and civil society and at the European Commission as National Expert in Professional Training. I also worked as Project Manager at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain supporting Associated Countries in the development of their Public Policies. In 2013 I focused my career in R&D&i activities working at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) connecting researchers and industrial partners in oder to bring research results into the market. I have sound experience implementing actions to improve the performance of EU funds by public administrations and innovation actions enhancing the links between civil society, industry and academia.
