Detailed AGENDA is available here.

The 1st workshop presents testimonials of territorial cooperation in the field of regional innovation, which were carried out by partners of PERIA. As PERIA is an interregional cooperation to develop services offered by a region (in particular by the regional authority and its regional innovation agency), concrete results will be introduced on good practice exchanges that were conducted between the partnering regions of Aquitaine, Champagne-Ardenne, Észak-Alföld, Saxony-Anhalt, Valencia, and Veneto regions.

The 2nd workshop focuses on conceptual aspects and implementation of smart specialisation, presenting the global approach of the concept and the regional implementations presented by Andalusia, Basse-Normandie, Mazovia and Murcia. The workshop provides opportunity for debate on the role of regional authorities and RIAs in the smart specialisation concept, and would introduce regional examples about how smart specialisation can be implemented on regional level.
