Partnerships for Regional Innovation (PRI) in the European Week for Regions and cities 2022
|
|
The first ‘Partnerships for Regional Innovation’ PRI Open Forum will be held as an online workshop during the European Week of Regions and Cities on 11th October, from 16:30 to 18:00 hrs.
Everyone with an interest in innovation policies for territorial transformation is invited!
The PRI Open Forum is a venue to learn about the ongoing PRI Pilot and to connect with other regions and stakeholders from Europe and beyond. PRI offers a complementary strategic framework to Smart Specialisation that seeks to leverage the power of systemic innovation to deliver economic, environmental and social co-benefits.
The Joint Research Centre (JRC) in collaboration with the Committee of the Regions (CoR) will report on progress with the PRI Pilot initiative, working jointly with over 70 territories to develop the new approach in support of the much-needed green and digital transition. Practitioners from the territories participating in the PRI Pilot will be with us to share their experiences and ideas, while the workshop will serve as an inspiring platform to connect and commence a continuing dialogue with other regions and stakeholders with an interest in developing innovation strategies for transformation.

Update of the Eye@RIS3
|
|
The Eye@RIS3 tool provides information on the innovation priorities across Europe on the basis of the regional/national Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (S3). An updated Eye@RIS3 tool recently incorporated into the S3 Platform facilitates the encoding of regional/national S3 priorities for the period 2021-2027 as well as new 2021 NUTS codes.
In order to populate the Eye@RIS3 tool data for the 2021-2027 period as quickly as possible and facilitate interregional cooperation around S3, we kindly invite the European regional/national authorities in charge of their respective S3s to encode their new priorities at the earliest opportunity. In order to encode new S3 priorities for your territory you will need an EU Login account (ECAS).
Please note that the Eye@RIS3 tool for the period 2014-2020 has been closed for encoding or editing any S3 priorities.

Higher Education for Smart Specialisation (HESS) activity
|
|
The HESS project is in the process of launching a set of stakeholder consultations in relation to its work. The HESS project, a JRC collaboration with DG EAC, seeks to engage and support regions and stakeholders from higher education in regional development processes and regional innovation systems. As a result, throughout the autumn, the project team will be undertaking a series of focus groups across the European University ERASMUS+ funded projects to explore how they relate to their local ecosystems and contribute to smart specialisation and regional development. Meanwhile as a first step in engaging with the EIT KIC’s HEI Initiative project, a stakeholder survey will be launched to all successful project applicants, with a view to exploring their regional engagement.
Finally, the second meeting of the HESS Advisory Group will be held on 8th September 2022, with a focus upon drawing out the links and relevance with the JRC and CoR’s Partnerships for Regional Innovation pilot action. The HESS advisory group is made up of seven external experts and two observers from across the EU who work as academics or practitioners in the field of education and skills and territorial development. The co-creation group provides direction to the project, reflects on outcomes and identifies policy implications of relevance to the HESS project and higher education more broadly.

What lessons are there for Open Discovery Process (ODP) from the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process' (EDP) experience?
|

Innovation ecosystems in Sub-Saharan Africa: the path towards localised STI for SDGs roadmaps
|
|
The 1.5-hour side event was held virtually on the margins of the HLPF 2022. The first part of the event shared the overview on STI performances in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the second part, countries developing their STI for SDGs roadmaps in the context of the Global Pilot Programme, as well as countries willing to engage in the process shared their experiences, achievements, and expectations. Discussants provided their reflections on the way forward and suggested their perspectives on actions to apply the lessons learnt in Sub-Saharan Africa while scaling up the work on STI for SDGs Roadmaps.
