Development of a framework/toolkit to support a regional approach for Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) in the Southern Region

Tender description

In alignment with the objectives of the Interreg Europe funded COHES3ION project the SRA are exploring how best to inform a regional Smart Specialisation approach and have identified key actions to facilitate this process. The initial step is to establish a framework for a Southern Region S3 through an ‘in-depth analysis of the Region’s identified sectors as the basis for identifying the specific specialisations on which the Region will base its research and innovation policies, interventions and investment’. This will form the basis for building a framework and informing the national S3 with relevant regional data.
