EWRC 2020: Shared Agendas: the Next Stage of the EDP

  • 07 Oct 2020 to 07 Oct 2020

S3 relies on extensive consultations with territorial stakeholders in the form of the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process (EDP). The EDP has been used to identify and co-develop priorities for S3 and steer them during implementation. However, there are considerable challenges in engaging with all relevant stakeholder constituencies. For instance, engagement with civil society and, to a lesser extent, with businesses is, in many cases, partial. Moreover, participating stakeholders rarely, if ever, agree to align their own resources with the territorial strategy. Shared agendas, and Catalonia's experience in developing them in the context of the EDP, offer a promising avenue for addressing these challenges. Shared agendas may also identify a way to make the EDP more continuous, by encouraging the co-development of dynamic and responsive roadmaps for territorial transformation.
