Regions interested in setting up a new Thematic Area are invited to contact JRC. The regions can benefit from the service of a RIS3 expert helping them to develop a scoping note for the new interregional partnership. The scoping note will define the key objective of the partnership as well as a first draft action plan of the work to be performed by the partnership.
Once the partnership has submitted the Expression of Interest and it is qualified as eligible, the partnership can benefit from the support of EU specific actions.
