Description

This pioneering transnational network, led by the city of Bilbao and funded by the URBACT programme, aims to boost the urban/ metropolitan agenda on economic development by means of smart specialisation as an overarching approach while articulating better with RIS3 at regional level. 

Their Connecting RIS3 to the city, a two way bridge thematic workshop is a first attempt to think about effective city to region articulation in relation to smart specialisation.  By bringing together city practitioners, regional and national representatives in charge of RIS3 and experts, it aims to gather ideas, relevant pilots and initiatives to start shaping a facilitating framework for such an interaction and alignment between both scales, the region and the city.
