  16. ERRIN DNA Information & intelligence Voicing positions Sharing knowledge Trust & confidence Visibility & critical mass Raising capacity Mutual learning Developing networks Essential contacts Partners & projects

  17. ERRIN from a member perspective The network provides good contacts with other European regions which have similar interests, expertise and challenges… ERRIN is a concrete and well-focused network – practical and results oriented… One gets access to relevant information and ‘early warnings’ on topics and issues of interest to members… The network is well-known and respected in the Brussels environment… AGM survey 18th November 2010

  18. ERRIN and R&I policy Europe 2020 / Innovation Union Briefing Oct with DG Ent/ Making Knowledge Work Smart specialisation Debate at AGM Nov S3 and Higher Education, Energy and overview at Open Days 2011 Future Research and Innovation framework Briefing 11th Feb DG R&I Cohesion policy Future EU budget

  19. What is Innovation Union? Strategic approach Partnership with Member States From idea to market Research to retail Tackling weaknesses Under-investment Fragmentation Framework conditions Building onstrengths Focus on societal challenges Broad concept of innovation Involving all actors • Highlights • European Innovation Partnerships • European Research Area framework • Streamlined EU programmes • New financial instruments • Reform of standardisation system • Public procurement of innovation • Social innovation pilot • Stronger monitoring • Innovation Convention  A distinctive European approach to innovation Regional dimension

  20. Innovation Union: the regional dimension • Regions need innovation and innovation needs regions • The Innovation Union must involve ‘all actors and all regions in the innovation cycle…focusing on…smart specialisation with Europe, Member States and regions acting in partnership’ (page 8) • Regions key players as they are the places where innovation happens • Triple helix partners • Core competences – including institutional competences • Shift of innovation from private/agent to public/network e.g congestion charging, e-health, green cars, etc. • Collaborate, connect and collaborate (benchmarking/peer review…) • Critical mass vs proximity • Regions – vertical and horizontal alignment

  24. Innovation Union – some aspects of the regional dimension

  25. Smart specialisation Smart specialisation policies needed for each region Need to compare regional strengths with other regions and look for gain via inter-regional and trans-national cooperation Smart specialisation requires business, research centres and universities working together to identify promising areas and also bottlenecks to innovation Smart specialisation must include policy learning, peer reviews with regional stakeholders

  26. S3 Component Parts Innovation clusters Innovation friendly business environments for SMEs Lifelong learning in research and innovation Attractive regional research infrastructure and centres of competence Creativity and cultural industries Digital agenda Public procurement Addressing societal challenges through Innovation Partnerships

  27. The S3 platform

  28. S3 and ERRIN ERRIN will play into the S3 Platform expertise from universities, research centres, regional authorities, business… Explore concept S3 and energy S3 and higher education S3 Open Days seminar

  29. Future R&I - ERRIN 10 points Ambition Research aimed at societal challenges Use regional excellence/partnerships/ integrated strategies Consolidation Synergies between research and innovation and more focus on user-driven innovation/ living labs

  30. Future R&I - ERRIN 10 points Encourage inter-disciplinary and inter-regional research More support for the innovation chain and commercialisation or results Mix of top down and bottom up research (frontier research) High trust and more tolerance or error/proportionality Beware a results driven approach/lump sums

  31. Conclusions • Innovation is place based (Barca Report) and involves not just a technology or service improvement but increasingly a set of factors mixing public and private networks – collaboration, coordination and connectivity • Smart specialisation will involve regions being spatially aware and outward looking – exchanging best practice, benchmarking… • ERRIN has the critical mass, experience and expertise to • Contribute actively to the policy debate for Research and Innovation, Structural Funds, EU Budget • Support the implement of the Europe 2020 Strategy / Innovation Union www.errin.eu
