TCI 2016 Tuning cluster polices with regional RIS3TCI Network
This presentation discusses how cluster policies can be tuned with regional research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3). The presentation finds that cluster policies contribute to RIS3 through sustainable stakeholder engagement, cross-border collaboration, prioritization, evidence-based policymaking, and multi-level governance. Cluster policies are not just cluster programs but the whole set of instruments that facilitate collaboration across sectors and regional actors. Integrating existing cluster policy instruments within RIS3 implementation, and vice versa, can both strengthen clusters' contributions to integrated policy mixes and strengthen clusters themselves.
Olav Bardalen, Presentation at the TCI2018 European Conference SofiaTCI Network
This document discusses capacity building through transnational cluster manager training programs between Norway and Romania/Bulgaria. Specifically:
1. Norway has implemented cluster manager training programs in Romania and Bulgaria from 2016-2017 with the goals of increasing skills through experience sharing and learning from Norwegian cluster experts.
2. The training programs consisted of 3 sessions in each country covering topics like cluster management, internationalization, and Norwegian cluster experiences.
3. Interactive training methods were used, drawing on participants' experiences and challenges. Positive feedback was received on the approach and some new relations between clusters were formed.
The document evaluates EU support for research and innovation in partner countries from 2007-2013. It finds that while individual projects showed promising practices, there was an overall lack of a clear strategic approach and inadequate capacity. Specifically, it concludes that the sectoral approach was effective but limited impact, instruments and modalities were not used strategically, complementarity between development and research departments could be stronger, results were largely localised without systematic progress, and innovation uptake was limited. It recommends developing a more structured strategy with clear pillars, supplementing basic support elements, and improving coordination and capacity to increase impact.
Cecilia Johansson presentation, Presentation TCI2018 European Conference SofiaTCI Network
Cecilia Johansson presented on smart specialization strategies in Sweden on a national and regional level. The key points are:
