The project helps regions in nine countries to apply research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) by sharing best practices and knowledge of EU RIS3 experts (Committee of Regions, EU Joint Research Centre) and co-creating concepts for the RIS3 implementation. The project focuses on active healthy ageing, digitalisation in smart city, climate change and circular economy. Engagement for a shared vision: Smart-Up BSR addresses the challenge of making regional research & innovation strategies (RIS3) relevant and effective to a diverse set of stakeholders. It does so by pooling the dispersed knowledge and capabilities together, by engaging different stakeholders such as regional actors, universities, NGOs, politicians and businesses to create a shared vision of regional development and smart specialisation strategies in Baltic Sea regions. Collective vision and strategy development help to create and maintain stakeholder commitment and a sense of ownership. The way of working: Smart-Up provides a continuity for interaction between stakeholders through a series of innovation camps organised over the span of three years. During Smart-Up innovation camps, participants work around challenges put forward by challenge owners in the Baltic Sea cities and regions. Innovated solutions are about promoting regional smart specialisation, and implementing pilots related to healthy ageing, climate change, circular economy and smart city. In the camps participants learn about local best practices and get inspiration from visiting local initiatives. Smart-Up BSR: networking for innovation: This thee-year engagement process enables innovative approaches, systematic revision and selection of best regional practices in regional research & innovation strategies’ implementation. It allows Smart-Up BSR partners to build up their networks and establish more solid inter-regional collaborations over the spearhead topics. Project outcomes focus on overcoming the stakeholder divide in the regions, and leveraging collective knowledge to achieve effective regional and transnational collaboration for realising Baltic Sea region policies in practice.
