Smart specialisation and key enabling technologies in the new regional development policy

Summary/Abstract: The process of the creation and implementation of the regional research and innovation strategies for Smart Specialisations (RIS3) and the identification of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) has a critical meaning for EU regional development acceleration. The identification of Smarts and KETs is recognized as the core of RIS3 and its first order implementation condition. The methodological model for the identification of Smart Specialisations and KETs was the objective of this research. The model (matrix) consists of both knowledge transfer steps and cognitive stages. At each cross-point of the matrix there is an output of analysis. The conjunction of results from each transfer and cognitive steps leads to different levels of regional development priorities, including (finally) Smart Specialisations Areas and Key Enabling Technologies.
