  2. Where do RIS3 come from? Buildingon the past • Widespread experience of national/regional innovation strategies in the framework of the EU cohesion policy • Achieved greater co-operation among private and public stakeholders and better communication between technology providers and clients Breaking with the past • Lack of international and trans-regional perspective • Not in tune with the industrial and economic fabric of regions • Too narrow vision of innovation • Picking the winner syndrome • The best performing regions were just copied

  3. Some of the RIS3 novelties to focus on • Open and broader concept of innovation, not just RTD-oriented • Outward-looking analysis, open to the « rest of the world »: connectivity, related varieties, KETs, value chains, global companies, … • Detection of existing / potential entrepreneurial capacity and actors - emerging niches, applied knowledge/technology, … • Collaborative leadership – quadruple helix • Mutual learning and peer exchange as methods for assessment and review

  4. The novelties of the RIS3 approach in six key steps Step 1 – Analysis of regional context/potential Step 2 – Governance Step 3 – Vision for the future Step 4 – Selection of priorities Step 5 – Policy mix Step 6 – Monitoring and evaluation

  5. Support to regions in preparing RIS Informal Peer Review workshops Assessment of draft / final RIS3 RIS3 Guide Thematic working groups Seminars in Member States and EU Macro-regions Website with special access for regions and interactive tools

  6. A comprehensive viewThe RIS3 Guide and assessment Guide released in March 2012 and available in the S3 Platform website Part I – Policy context Part II – Rationale Part III – RIS3 design in a nutshell Annex I – A step-by-step approach to RIS3 design Annex II – Delivery instruments and horizontal approaches Annex III – Guidance for expert assessment Assessment of individual RIS3s based rather on the novelties of the process through focused questionnaire and desk review.

  7. Synthetic assessment of a RIS3 – a first attempt Example of an assessment track S3 Platform elaboration on EURADA source

  8. A more targeted view – first developments • Tools for review and peer exchange • Outward-looking analysis and indicators

  9. Peer Review – the S3Platform experience “Formulating and implementing a RIS3 is a continuous process” • Focused workshops in time and scope • Steered preparation process (iterative process on improving templates) • Changing roles – can be reviewer and reviewed at the same time • Mutual learning from peers, experts and EU services • Peer-reviewed regions get the floor • Structured feedback and periodical check • Rendez-vous: 1st Workshop in Seville (January 2012) 2nd Workshop in Seville (May 2012) 3rd Workshop in the Azores (June 2012) 4th Workshop in Italy (September 2012 tbc)

  10. Outward-looking analysis • Assess region’s positioning • Beware of global companies and value chains • Flows of knowledge and skills • Avoid ‘blind’ duplication, discover possibilities for collaboration • Combine methods (e.g. studies; interviews; interregional work groups)

  11. Research & analysis nurturing practice and policy-making • Development of a methodology for the profiling of regional economies (Fraunhofer ISI et al., Nov. 2011 - contribution to a better understanding of the processes that underlie and drive • economic dynamism at the regional level and collection of indicators for regional profiles) • Exploring interregional trade networks - towards a new tool for supporting regional strategies for smart specialisation (S3 Platform – presented at the joint OECD-IPTS workshop in Linz, March 2012; will be presented at the RSA European Conference at Delft, May 2012) • http://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/research-articles

  12. Outcome of regional profiling study • It is easy to measure specialisation, but: • - a certain approach to specialisation cannot generally be qualified as “smart” / “unsmart” • - strong regions may profit from diversification/related variety, other may not • - weak regions have a tendency to be very specialised, but this is not always an asset. • The key issue seems to be the “smartness” less than the degree of specialisation. • This involves determining the exact sectoral focus, and the specifically relevant framework: (i) status quo, (ii) current access to resources, (iii) state of regional attractiveness. • Finding a set of valid indicators to measure “smart specialisation” will be difficult. • While their number should be limited, they should not simply focus on specialisation as such. • Due to complexity, the specifically relevant framework is hard to capture by indicators, a participatory “process of discovery” with stakeholders will be central to success. • Source: Fraunhofer ISI et al.

  13. Interregional trade networks - towards a new tool for supporting regional strategies for smart specialisation • Propose and test a methodology to develop quantitative indicators on regional positioning, focusing on Spanish interregional trade flows using a complex network approach • Provide analytical basis to develop RIS3, starting with a few case studies (e.g. Andalucía) • Derive policy implications relevant to policy makers when designing their RIS3

  14. Network concepts and empirical strategy • Bilateral interregional flows mapped onto a weighted directed graph where vertices represent regions and links are flows of goods • Appreciate topological features of the web, and characterize each vertex (region) with respect to its position within the web • Trade interdependency captured by level of network integration and cohesion. Relative position of regions appreciated by looking at centrality in the network

  15. Total trade (2007) - top 5% of flows 1. Cataluña (5) 2. Madrid (3) 3. Castilla y León (2) 4. Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, Comunidad Valenciana, Murcia, País Vasco, Andalucía (1)

  16. Total trade (2007) - top 10% of flows 1. Cataluña (8) 2. Andalucía (5) 3. Madrid, Comunidad Valenciana (4) 4. Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha (2) 5. Aragón, Galicia, Murcia, País Vasco (1)

  17. Total trade (2007) - top 25% of flows 1. Cataluña, Andalucía (15) 2. Madrid, País Vasco, Castilla y León (14) 3. Comunidad Valenciana (12) 4. Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia (11) 5. Aragón, Asturias (10) 6. Navarra (7)

  18. Some initial conclusions and policy implications • Andalucía has a wide range of connections • First-order links are with the most industrialized regions, even if they are far away from a geographical point of view • Catalonia and Madrid represent the partner/competitors with respect to which complementarities in production and specialization pattern should be pursued
