The session was organized as part of the Working Group on Understanding and Managing Industrial Transitions within the RIS3 in Lagging Regions project. The Review aims to  facilitate coordination between relevant policy portfolios and stakeholders, including among others, research and innovation, education and training, industrial and investment policies and appropriate adaptations of the institutional framework. The Review will develop, in close collaboration with all interested parties, concrete proposals for the transition of individual innovation, production and consumption systems on the selected industrial theme. The Review can support the identification of growth opportunities within the industry sector and the creation of quality jobs while taking into account the importance of mitigating the negative economic and social impact of the transition process.

The JRC team comprised the following experts: Héloïse Berkowitz (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Totti Könnölä, (Insight Foresight Institute (IFI)), Dimitrios Pontikakis, Elisabetta Marinelli and Inmaculada Perianez (Joint Research Centre, European Commission).
