The aim of the UCC+I Network is to promote the exchange of experiences and the search for synergies between entities, which improves the quality of UCC+I products and services and promotes the optimization of resources.

The objective of the registry is to establish the minimum requirements that a Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit must fulfill in order to be considered as such and, in this way, to become part of the UCC+I directory of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, coordinator of the Network.
