Peer eXchange and Learning (PXL) workshop on the entrepreneurial discovery process (EDP)

General Information

The S3 Platform is organising its second Peer eXchange and Learning (PXL) workshop on entrepreneurial discovery process (EDP), based on the demands received thorough the "Call for Expression of interest" we launched last November 2017. This second PXL workshop will be focused on "entrepreneurial discovery process" and is planned for 8 March 2018 in Magdeburg.

The workshop will be based on the PXL methodology developed by the S3 Platform over the past years (more information on the methodology can be found here)

The PXL exercise will focus on experiences and challenges associated to the operationalisation of the EDP process during the RIS3 implementation. Saxony-Anhalt (DE), North Karelia (FI), Estonia and Jämtland Härjedalen (SE) will provide a short account of their experience so as their most challenging and succesful elements of their EDP. Through experience exchanges, comments and suggestions from JRC staff, peers and experts, regional and national authorities are expected to identify possible solutions to their challenges. The workshop will also intend to provide all participants an opportunity for raising issues, providing feedbacks, networking and learning from others.
