Description

Smart specialisation strategies are useful tool to support transition towards a sustainable blue economy by creating the necessary blue economy oriented innovation ecosystems in Member States and regions by promoting the exchange of know-how/lesson learned, facilitating the creation of a blue economy community of S3 quadruple helix stakeholders and supporting the development of future blue economy based interregional innovation partnerships. In addition, Smart Specialisation cooperation can reinforce regional cooperation in the framework of the EU sea-basins and macro-regional strategies as well as develop complementarities and synergies with the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).

Half a day virtual event will address three main points:

  1. Building on the experiences from the 2014-2020 S3 cooperation;
  2. Preparing for the future S3 interregional partnerships for Sustainable Blue Economy;
  3. The role of Macro-regional and Sea-Basin Strategies, New Horizon Missions and the BlueInvest Platform in the future Interregional Blue Economy S3 cooperation.

The workshop will be held online on the 6th of July 2021 from 9:00 to 12:45 CET.

The online registration is open until 4th of July 2021.
