Eye@RIS3 visualises public investment priorities for innovation across Europe. 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).

Smart specialisation as a regional objective rests
in the improved utilisation of forest and other
natural resources, raw materials and wastes,
e.g. in energy use, biofuels, material refining and
added value-based innovative products. This priority focuses energy, new products and entrepreneurial activity from resource-effective and low-carbon bio- and circular economies.

Safety and smart logistics - our region’s expertise in safety in both maritime transport and port operations is the top international level. Smart logistics is a means to
intensify operations by which the environment,
costs and work time are saved and safety is also
added. Smart specialisation as a regional objective is
to connect, by means of digitalisation, ports,
logistics actors and multimodal terminals into
a more active, closer part of the European core
transportation chain (TEN-T).

The area is focused on providing high-quality agri-food products that are safe for consumers and the environment. This can be achieved, inter alia, by improving products and processes related to their production, processing, storage, distribution and disposal. The area takes into account solutions influencing the quality and safety of food, including e.g.: cultivation and breeding techniques (including precision farming), fertilizers, plant protection products, feed, veterinary drugs, machines, devices and tools for agriculture and agri-food processing, formulation of food products and improvement of technological processes, testing the quality of agri-food products, food storage and distribution (including packaging). Assumed economic effects: increase in the availability of high-quality agri-food products that are safe for consumers and the environment. Expected projects results: impact on improving the quality and safety of food products.
