Awareness raising event on Smart Specialisation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

  • 19 May 2022
  • BiH Parliamentary Assembly, Hall 1/I Trg BiH

During the last decade, Smart specialisation has become one of the core strategic approaches to Research and Innovation as well as an effective policy instrument for higher competitiveness and increasing opportunities.


The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) is working closely with countries beyond the European Union to help develop and implement innovation strategies based on the principles of Smart Specialisation. As of March 2020, 13 economies from the EU Enlargement and Neighbourhood Region are developing their S3 strategies.


This event served as opportunity for delving deeper into the main Smart Specialisation related key elements along the process of designing the final Strategy, as well as for taking stock of the state of play in Bosnia and Herzegovina in view of future steps.
