Human Resources Customers Communication Contact Integrated management policy I + D + I R + d + i POLICY Research, development and innovation (usually indicated by the expression R + D + I or R + D + I ) is a concept of recent appearance, in the context of science, technology and society studies; as an overcoming of the previous concept of research and development (R&D). While development is a term from the world of economics, research and innovation respectively come from the world of epistemology and technology, and their dynamic relationship is found in the context of the differentiation between pure science and applied science; any of them is complex in definition. Research is provocatively defined as investing money to obtain knowledge, while innovation would be investing knowledge to obtain money, which expresses very well the feedback phenomenon that occurs with a successful R & D & I strategy . In the political and legislative application of the R + D + i concept, Research is defined as the original planned inquiry that seeks to discover new knowledge and a superior understanding in the scientific and technological field; development as the application of the results of research or any other type of scientific knowledge for the manufacture of new materials or products or for the design of new processes or production systems, as well as for the substantial technological improvement of materials, products, pre-existing processes or systems; and technological innovation as the activity whose result is a technological advance in obtaining new products or production processes or substantial improvements to existing ones. Those products or processes whose characteristics or applications, from a technological point of view, will be considered new. To support these activities, there is a set of UNE standards : the UNE 166000 series , which includes the UNE 166001 standard , aimed at R + D + i projects , the UNE 166002 on R + D + i management system requirements and UNE 166006 relative to requirements on the technological surveillance system. TEBASA is in the process of implementing the AENOR seal that certifies that it is developing R + d + i projects . PROJECTS TEBASA has implemented in its road maintenance service for the San Sebastián de los Reyes de Madrid city council, a specific software for the management, control and monitoring of road condition inspection work. Likewise, a research project is being developed for the analysis, detection and correction of the different pathologies of pavements through the study of spectral images. In the environmental field, studies are being developed for the analysis and improvement of phosphorus removal processes in urban wastewater. Considering both the use of new filter materials and new geometric dimensions of the settling basins. New models of eco-purification and energy efficiency are also being developed in both the elements and the procedures that allow us to meet the new guidelines for reducing CO2 consumption .
