Henry Etzkowitz London 7 July 2013 / three important messages for me:
1) Students are the real asset of the university;
2) University through Triple Helix operates as an incubator also for academic
entrepreneurship, civic entrepreneurship and cultural entrepreneurship;
3) Triple Helix Spaces link knowledge, innovation, governance and leadership. Now need to
pay special attention on boundaries.

“Smart Specialization Strategies for Research and
Innovation. Different regions different approaches”
• Our CoR experiences coming from many regions give a strong support on the
following Smart Specialisation Platform statements: “RIS3 is an economic
transformation agenda. RIS3 is a dynamic and evolutionary process (not a
structure) deeply grounded in an entrepreneurial discovery process (not a
one-off action) where governments are rather facilitators than in a position
of command and control. RIS3 is for innovation leaders and for those lagging
behind.”
• The smart specialisation approach is not just about a more focused and
limited approach to cluster funding. RIS3 is a structural reform to upgrade the
entire business environment and innovation ecosystem in the region.
• Smart specialization is opening up important opportunities for joining forces,
matching roadmaps and building more world-class clusters.
• Regions can now spend up to 15% of their funds outside their programme
area, if it is to the benefit of their territory.
