Some concluding thoughts... Regions are key players to achieve Europe 2020 objectives.
Structural Funds reinforce the contribution of regions to Europe 2020 objectives.
RIS3 and other ex-ante conditions are key to reorient regional policies towards Europe 2020 objectives.
RIS3 represents a change of paradigm for innovation policies and for EU Cohesion Policy.
RIS3 is defined as an entrepreneurial discovery process. It is about finding new solutions to the new societal challenges with the implication of all stakeholders (R&I system, companies, administrations, users).
The policies based on smart specialisation are being implemented…we need to know whether they work.
RIS3 and Structural Funds monitoring and evaluation systems should be more focused on learning and less focused on compliance with predefined objectives.
