Expected Results

The improvement of framework conditions for delivering innovation is necessary to tackle the following challenges: increasing global competition, diminishing public resources and the risk of brain drain.

  • introducing and adopting common approaches, collaboration arrangements, joint structures and policy tools supporting capacity for delivering innovation.

A key element to demonstrate in your project application is the contribution to the development and/or implementation of smart specialisation strategies.
