Multi-level governance: topic framing
In this session, Kevin Morgan (Cardiff University) will frame the multi-level governance concept by drawing on his work with all three levels of governance in the EU - the supra-national, the national and the sub-national level of cities and regions - to demonstrate that RIS3 needs to be framed as a multi-scalar process.
He will also argue that cities have been the missing the link in the RIS3 process up to now and they need to be involved more centrally because they are urban laboratories of innovation and development.
