My organisation
Kveloce is an international company specialized in Research and Development (R&D) in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities. Founded in 2011, at Kveloce, we conduct research in the social sciences, providing analysis and advice on a wide range of topics related to society, human behavior, and social interactions.
We have a solid understanding of the technical and scientific complexity, including the relevant terminology, vocabulary, methodologies, and frameworks, necessary to ensure that our SSH research is seamlessly integrated with the technical aspects of the project. Our expertise allows us to navigate and bridge the gap between social sciences and technical fields, ensuring that SSH contributions are not only well-aligned with the overall research goals but also add value by enriching the project with critical insights into societal dynamics, behavioral patterns, and policy implications. This multidisciplinary approach enhances the project's overall coherence and impact, while addressing the complex challenges of modern research and innovation. Along with other transversal tasks such as Communication and Dissemination, Public Engagement Strategy, and Policy Recommendations, is seamlessly integrated, we complement the overall project methodology while contributing to relevant EU policies, such as RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation) and Open Science.
Concretely, we develop:
Safe and Sustainable fy Design (SSbD) and impact Assessment, Public and stakeholder engagement - Multiactor approach, Ethics, RRI and DMP, Consumer acceptance & behavioral change, Scientific communication and citizens science
Currently we are coordinating CO-SECUR project, funded under Horizon Europe programme, cluster 3. This project aims to improve citizens’ security perception and behaviour in public spaces, especially at large events and crowded areas, by actively engaging them to co-create innovative security solutions (www.cosecur.eu)
About me
Consultant specialized in European funding programs, with a solid academic background and extensive professional experience in the design, preparation, and execution of proposals for competitive calls. PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Zaragoza, awarded the highest distinction Cum Laude, having completed international research stays at the University of Manchester, Princeton University (USA), and the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis (USA). I completed my training with a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Molecular Science at the University of Valencia.
Since 2009, at AIMPLAS (Technological Institute of Plastics), I focused my professional career on the preparation and execution of research projects, collaborating with entities from the quadruple helix of innovation (public sector, private sector, academia, and civil society) to secure national and European funding. I actively participated from the Seventh Framework Programme through to Horizon Europe and in several cascade funding calls, leading initiatives first in the composites department (2009–2020) and later in the chemical recycling area (2020–2024). My responsibilities included the design, drafting, management, and implementation of R&D projects at regional, national, and European levels, as well as delivering training programs aligned with the real needs of the industrial sector.
During my time at AIMPLAS and now at Kveloce, I have collaborated in the preparation and execution of over 100 national and European proposals, coordinating the preparation and technical execution of more than 30 of them.
Thanks to the combination of a strong academic and research background with deep technical and practical experience, along with excellent networking, communication, and negotiation skills, I offer a comprehensive approach to support public and private entities in defining and executing strategies for securing European funding. My current work covers the entire project cycle: from ideation and drafting of coordinated proposals to promoting key partners within international consortia.
