This year, for the third time in its history, the 6th International Documentary Festival Ierapetra & Awards 3-10 August 2019 hosts a special section on "Research and Innovation".

This module is implemented under the Operational Program "Human Resources Development, Education and Lifelong Learning" and is co-funded by the European Union (European Social Fund) and National Resources. It is essentially the Operational Program of the NSRF, which deals with education and employment.

Some of the objectives of the effort concern:

• Developing and exploiting the capabilities of the country's human resources
• Improving the quality of education, lifelong learning, awareness raising for environmental education
• Connection education to labor market
• Strengthening social cohesion and social inclusion of vulnerable social groups (EKO). The screening of the tribute films is free to the public and access to people with disabilities is guaranteed.

The cinematographic tribute "Research and Innovation" participates in the actions of the pan-European communication campaign.

Europe in My Region 2019 (Europe in my Region) aims to encourage citizens to see and learn more about projects co-funded by the European Union in their region.

The 6th International Documentary Festival Ierapetra & Awards, participating actively in this action, hosts the institution, hosts actors and shows the following films, with the title "Research and Innovation", most of which are world premieres.

Entrance to the screening of the "Research and Innovation" tribute is free to the public and accessible for people with disabilities.
