The State Plan is the main instrument of the General State Administration for the development and achievement of the objectives of the Spanish Strategy for Science and Technology and Innovation (EECTI).
The EECTI 2021-2027, in force, is divided into two state plans, the State Plan 2021-2023, which is the one currently being implemented, and the State Plan 2024-2027. The plans include state aid for R&D&I carried out by the AGE. A significant part of these grants are implemented through calls on a competitive basis.
