The content of this page displays the data related to EU territories for the period 2014 - 2020.The Smart Specialisation Community of Practice (S3 CoP)has now become the place to get informed about the data for the period 2021-2027.
Eye@RIS3 visualises public investment priorities for innovation across Europe for period 2014-2020. It enables public managers and stakeholders to position their territory in comparison to other territories and to find potential partners for collaboration. Inside the EU, priorities are linked to the use of the European Regional and Development Funds (ERDF). Data are based on the information found in Smart Specialisation Strategies and related strategic frameworks. Outside the EU, they depict R&I priorities reported in various government strategy documents.
Last updates: The tool has been fully upgraded in September 2018. Data are continuously updated based on inputs from European regional and national authorities and their stakeholders (also called the "entrepreneurial discovery process" in the literature on smart specialisation).
Maritime activities Regard the sea as a strategic resource for the region. This includes the development of activities that range from traditional fishery, tourism and leisure to R&D activities to explore and add value to unexplored marine resources.
