About me

R&D Manager – Fundación Tecnova (Almería, Spain)

Hello, I’m Eva Justicia Calderón, R&D Manager at Fundación Tecnova, a leading Spanish Technology Centre for the Auxiliary Industry of Agriculture, located in Almería — Europe’s main hub for intensive horticulture.

At Tecnova, I coordinate innovation and international R&D projects focused on sustainable agriculture, agri-food technologies, and bio-based solutions. We work closely with companies, research centers, and farmers to develop, test, and transfer technologies that improve crop efficiency, circularity, and environmental sustainability.

I’m currently seeking partners and consortia in Cluster 6 topics—particularly those related to sustainable food systems, soil health, climate adaptation, biosolutions, and digital agriculture.

Tecnova can contribute with:

  • Pilot testing and demonstration facilities for horticultural innovation in real farming conditions.

  • Strong industrial network in the agri-food value chain across Southern Europe.

  • Expertise in technology validation, innovation management, and dissemination within EU frameworks.

I’m eager to connect with partners who share our vision of transforming agriculture into a more sustainable, resilient, and technology-driven system.
