Short description

The Joint Research Centre and DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE), in cooperation with DG Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO), are organising a dedicated workshop as initial step to develop a Smart specialisation Community of Practice in the field of blue economy.

Description

Smart Specialisation strategies are an useful tool to support transition towards a sustainable blue economy by creating the necessary blue economy oriented innovation ecosystems in Member States and regions by promoting the exchange of know-how/lesson learned, facilitating the creation of a blue economy community of S3 quadruple helix stakeholders and supporting the development of future blue economy based interregional innovation partnerships. In addition, Smart Specialisation cooperation can reinforce regional cooperation in the framework of the EU sea-basins and macro-regional strategies as well as develop complementarities and synergies with European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).

Half a day virtual event will consist of three sections:

  1. Building on the Experiences from the 2014-2020 S3 cooperation;
  2. Preparing for the Future S3 interregional partnerships for Sustainable Blue Economy; and
  3. Interregional Blue Economy S3 cooperation: Role of Macro-regional and Sea-Basin Strategies, New Horizon Missions and the BlueInvest Platform.

The online registration process will be open early June 2021.
