  3. Cohesion policy 2014-2020 and Europe 2020 • Commission adopted its proposals 6 October 2011 • Along with rural development and maritime and fisheries policy, cohesion policy will focus on Europe 2020 objectives • List of thematic objectives developed around the Europe 2020 headline targets and flagship initiatives • Thematic concentration: minimum shares for research and innovation through the European Regional Development Fund European UnionCohesion Policy

  4. Thematic Concentration • Research & innovation • Information and communication technologies (ICT) • Competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) • Shift towards a low-carbon economy • Climate change adaptation & risk prevention and management • Environmental protection & resource efficiency • Sustainable transport & removing bottlenecks in key network infrastructures • Employment & supporting labour mobility • Social inclusion & combating poverty • Education, skills & lifelong learning • Institutional capacity building & efficient public administrations European UnionCohesion Policy

  5. Concentrating resources to maximise impact Concentration of ERDF investments on: • energy efficiency & renewable energy • research & innovation • competitiveness of SMEs 6% 60% 44% 20% More developed & transition regions Less developed regions flexibility – different regions have different needs special arrangements for ex-convergence regions European UnionCohesion Policy

  6. ERDF Investment priorities 2014-20 (Art. 5) 1). Strengthening research, technological development and innovation: • enhancing research and innovation infrastructure (R&I) and capacities to develop R&I excellence and promoting centres of competence, in particular those of European interest; • promoting business R&I investment, technology transfer, social innovation, clusters and open innovation in SMEs through smart specialisation; • supporting technological and applied research, pilot lines, early product validation actions, and advanced manufacturing capabilities in Key Enabling Technologies and diffusion of common rules purpose technologies; 2). Enhancing accessibility to and use and quality of ICT: • extending broadband deployment and the roll-out of high-speed networks ; • developing ICT products and services, e-commerce and enhancing demand for ICT; • strengthening ICT applications for e-government, e-learning, e-inclusion and e-health; 3). Enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs: • promoting entrepreneurship, in particular by facilitating the economic exploitation of new ideas and fostering the creation of new firms; • developing new business models for SMEs in particular for internationalisation; European UnionCohesion Policy

  7. Categories of Expenditure European UnionCohesion Policy

  8. More coherent use of available EU funds Common Strategic Framework Operational Programmes Partnership Contract Comprehensive investment strategy: aligned with Europe 2020 objectives Coherence with National Reform Programmes Coordination: cohesion policy, rural development, maritime + fisheries funds Objectives and indicators to measure progress towards Europe 2020 targets Effectiveness: ex-ante conditionalities, performance framework Efficiency: reduction of administrative burden for beneficiaries, alignment of eligibility rules of different EU instruments European UnionCohesion Policy

  9. Research and InnovationCohesion policy 2014-2020 Introduction of ex-ante conditionalities to ensure that the necessary conditions for effective support are in place. For research and innovation: • The existence of a national or regional research and innovation strategy for smart specialisation in line with the National Reform Programme • to leverage private research and innovation expenditure • complies with the features of well-performing national or regional research and innovation systems European UnionCohesion Policy

  10. ANNEX I of the Innovation Union Flagship Self assessment tool:features of well performing national and regional research and innovation systems • Promoting research and innovation is considered as a key policy instrument to enhance competitiveness and job creation, address major societal challenges and improve quality of life and is communicated as such to the public. • Design and implementation of research and innovation policies is steered at the highest political level and based on a multi-annual strategy. Policies and instruments are targeted at exploiting current or emerging national/regional strengths within an EU context ("smart specialisation") • Innovation policy is pursued in a broad sense going beyond technological research and its applications. • There is adequate and predictable public investment in research and innovation focused in particular on stimulating private investment. • Excellence is a key criterion for research and education policy • Education and training systems provide the right mix of skills • Partnerships between higher education institutes, research centres and business, at regional, national and international level, are actively promoted • Framework conditions promote business investment in R&D, entrepreneurship and innovation • Public support to research and innovation in businesses is simple, easy to access, and high quality • The public sector itself is a driver of innovation European UnionCohesion Policy

  13. Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation – RIS³ An economic transformation agenda based on 4Cs: • (Tough) Choices: select few priorities on the basis of international specialisation and integration on international value chains – avoid duplication and fragmentation in ERA • Competitive (Constructed) Advantage: mobilize talent by matching RTD + i and business needs & capacities – entrepreneurial discovery process • Critical Mass/Clusters: develop world class excellence clusters and provide arenas for related variety/cross-sectorial links which drive specialised technological diversification • Collaborative Leadership: efficient innovation systems as a collective endeavour based on public-private partnership (quadruple helix) – experimental platform – give voice to un-usual suspects European UnionCohesion Policy

  15. Lessons from regional innovation strategies 1993-2000 “Inward looking” (parochial) without taking into account the global economy and the ERA; Driven by external consultants: appropriation problem for regional players; Excessive focus on "technological" supply and R&D emphasis; A lack of understanding of the regional innovation system as an interaction of interdependent players, policies and institutions; "Study-oriented" approach vs. "applied-oriented" approach: credibility for businessmen. National/Regional governments might feel threatened by: * a transparent and inclusive bottom-up process * analysis showing regional R&TD+i supply does not correspond to business demand; * new ideas, which cut across traditional power boundaries between Ministries; * project ideas which are not already in the "drawer" of a given Ministry European UnionCohesion Policy

  16. Governance of RIS3 as a collective social endeavour Set up a dedicated Steering Group/Knowledge Leadership Group, a Management Team and Working groups…and flagship projects Process needs to be interactive, regionally driven and consensus-based Collaborative leadership: know what, know who and know how. New demand-side perspectives given prominence: not just usual public suspects but businesses in the driving seat Embrace social as well as ecological innovation Involve boundary spanners brokering new connections across sectors, disciplines and institutions in order to explore « related-variety » Link national, regional and EU funds: involve stakeholders operating both outside and in the region European UnionCohesion Policy

  17. Horizontal issues and policy instruments • Green Growth: only sustainable is smart – Eco-innovation & Energy efficiency • Digital agenda: enabling knowledge flows throughout the territory –connected regions • Clusters for regional growth: business ecologies that drive innovation • Innovation-friendly business environments for SMEs: good jobs in internationally competitive firms • Social Innovation: new organisational forms to tackle societal challenges • Stronger focus on financial engineering: not only grants • Lifelong Learning in research and innovation: support knowledge triangle (KICs) and university-enterprise cooperation • Key Enabling Technologies: systemic potential to induce structural change • Research infrastructure/centres of competence: support to ESFRI and EU wide diffusion of leading edge R&D results • Creativity and cultural industries: innovation beyond technology and outside manufacturing • Public Procurement for market pull: pre-competitive PP to open new innovation friendly market niches European UnionCohesion Policy

  18. R&D excellence & Cohesion Policy: two policies with complementary objectives European UnionCohesion Policy
