Highlights
Partnerships for Regional Innovation: From Pilot to Practice Conference, 30 & 31 May, Tällberg, Dalarna, Sweden

Participants will share the lessons learnt from the PRI Pilot Action and take stock of the achievements obtained in collaboration, since its launch in May 2022. The event will encourage participants to bring PRI collaboration to the next level by meeting other participants, discussing topics of interest and possibilities of close interregional collaboration and is an excellent opportunity for gathering information on Regional Innovation Valleys, for community building and for establishing partnerships. We would like to encourage each and every region to take the lead in a topic of their interest, and mobilise the territories they would like to partner with, to join the event.

A new study delves on how Arctic regions implement Smart Specialisation strategies for SDG’s
As the Arctic regions continue to attract increasing global policy attention, a new evidence-based scientific report, published in March 2023, aims at providing insights on how the smart specialisation strategies developed at regional level address sustainable development challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study includes examples of relevant projects and initiatives drawn from Arctic Finland, Arctic Sweden and Arctic Norway and it highlights how crucial it is for the European Arctic communities to increase research and policy debates about empowering sustainable development and industrial transitions. Joint Research Centre Deputy Director General, Salla Saastamoinen keenly presented the study and highlighted some of the main findings during her intervention at the annual Summit of European Indigenous Sámi People that took place on 22nd – 24th March 2023 at the European Parliament, Brussels.
