Arguments and premises [1]
As it is well-known, the strategic context established in Lisbon envisages the objective that
Europe will become the most competitive and dynamic economy in the
world, based on knowledge, in 2010.
As time has gone by (we are now in 2007), it has become more obvious that the deadline for the
assessment is not accompanied by the achievement of the quantifiable targets formulated for this
objective by the majority of the EU Member States and especially by the new members countries
(Romania and Bulgaria).
The distance between the results obtained and the targets illustrates the need to improve the
mechanisms for the implementation and completion of the Lisbon strategy, on the one hand, as
well as the need to formulate realistic and precise targets and objectives that can
be achieved.
With a view to sustainable development and the transition to the knowledge
society, the core of assessing the results of the human activity cannot be
judged one-dimensionally, but systemically
Presence of the knowledge economy is also to be found in the highly
diverse and complex shaping of „knowledge management” –
 the engineering approach,
 the human resources-centred approach,
 the consensus-centred approach,
 the mathematical complexity,
 the social complexity.
Arguments and premises [2]
The understanding and anticipation of the changes in society and economy, in
the European context characterised:
 by multiculturalism and a wide ethnical diversity,
 in light of the new technologies, scientific progress
 new socio-economic and demographic changes
have led to an approach in the preoccupations to crystallize a European
Knowledge Management (KM)/ Knowledge Management Made in Europe
(KMME).
Within the KMME, we have chosen through the INNOV-DIARO project the
knowledge management from the social complexity perspective
component, as the method that ensures the transformation of the
collaborative potential in a competitive advantage.

Main results:
 determining the improvement in the performance of regional
innovation by means of using the research and innovation
activities through user-friendly, realistic and adequate
policies that are to be formulated on the basis of certain objectives that include and
illustrate the current and future problems of the innovation policy, as it is perceived as a result of
the dialogue between stakeholders;
 accelerating the process of obtaining the value added by means
of creating a culture and environment favorable to
innovation by stimulating communication and developing learning abilities through the
dialogue between stakeholders – main objective of the INNOV-DIARORO project;
region will become:
high-tech cluster structure,
Other results
Region will represent
the maximization of the unit of use the resources
through a non-destructive, renewable use based on
knowledge;
the minimization of the reaction times, communication unit
(appearance, analysis, reaction, reception and feedback) at
local, regional, national and transnational level;
efficient stakeholders’ representation unit ;
efficient stakeholders’ dialogue unit by means of
intersecting all the economic, social and environmental
interests;
stakeholders’ responsible commitment unit;,
administrative structural unit that represents the main
channel for the implementation of policies.
[The Cambridge Technopole
is a geographic area of intense high-technology
innovation activity encompassing the City of
Cambridge at its heart and the sub-regional Greater
Cambridge hinterland of approximately 25 miles
radius. It sits in the wider region of the East of
England, one of the fastest growing regions in the UK.
Much of this growth has been fuelled by the dynamism
of
the

• a knowledge, innovation and
flexibility hub, (Thus the region will be the hub
of a possible national network, characterized by the
multiple interfaces that link it to the knowledge,
financial, goods and services flows.)
•a success model for the innovation
process
•Better “decision unit”
o Better informed
o Better understood
o Acceptable to experts
o Widely supported
o Smoother and quicker to implement
Objectives of the proposed project
O1. The identification through the dialogue between regional stakeholders, of a list of values and
characteristics that describe the innovation process with a view to creating a regional
vision on accelerating the transformation of the European society, and implicitly of the Romanian
one, a country which is integrated de facto and soon it will be de iure, in a European economy
based on knowledge.
O2. Becoming aware of, understanding and assimilating the innovation process in the
regional strategies, as a strategic resource and priority through the dialogue between
regional stakeholders. The quantification of these processes will be made within the project,
by means of identifying and inventorying the objectives in the global regional strategy,
expressed in the item.
O3. The formulation, from a regional perspective as a result of the dialogue between stakeholders, of
the problems regarding the barriers, inertia, obstacles and successes as they are
perceived by the stakeholders, which describe the current innovation process. The result
will be materialized in classification of problems in order to use them to improve the innovation
performance by means of using the research and innovation activity to elaborate user-friendly,
realistic and adequate innovation policies.
O4.The creation of a culture and environment favourable to innovation by stimulating
communication and the development of learning abilities through the dialogue between
stakeholders. The long-term effect of the success of the project is to be found in the periodical
„dialogue between stakeholders for innovation at regional level”, organized at regional level, as
a custom and tradition.
O5. The creation of a database at regional level, which will contain the stakeholders’
perspective and perception regarding the innovation policy (current and future aspects), as
a memory that allows for the exploration of the innovation policies through the
dialogue between stakeholders at regional level. This perspective is achieved by
means of combining the national and European research-innovation results with the
stakeholders’ experience, in the specific regional context in a dialogue.
O6. Focusing and directing a dialogue to the current and future problems of the regional innovation
policy in order to achieve a better integration of the innovative aspects in the regional development
strategies and at national level and to speed up cooperation at all levels. The result will be
represented by a list of criteria and priorities of the current and future problems of the
innovation policy at regional level through the dialogue between stakeholders.
O7.Shaping the dialogue at regional level as the main instrument in the analysis of the innovation policy,
including the common actions and initiatives of innovation, so as to facilitate the connection to the IRE
– Innovating Regions of Europe – network. The result will be represented by a methodology for the
development of the dialogue between stakeholders at regional level.
O8. The development of a mechanism for the dialogue between stakeholders, at regional
level, as a centripetal source of a potential strategic vision of innovation, and as a source
for the formulation of realistic objectives for the innovation policy (for various time lines),
starting from the identification of problems, barriers, inertia, obstacles and successes in the
development of a culture and environment favourable to innovation, for the period 2015-2020.
The identification of the new problems and challenges regarding innovation, obtained by
exploring the perspective of a regional dialogue between stakeholders (local and public
authorities, experts, managers, etc.). The result is represented by the shaping of a vision of
the barriers, inertia, obstacles and success that will affect innovation in 2020.
Learning and cooperation for the development of the innovation policies as well
as of the strategic perspectives for 2015-2020 specific to INNOV-DIARO are
relevant specific activities for code from different European Programs:
INNO-DIARO, aims at developing the capacity to organize and use the dialogue
with the selected stakeholders and to use the national and especially regional
research activities effort in creating the „European Research Area”. The activities
proposed by INNO-DIAR correspond to Block 2 in FP6: Structuring the ERA
and contributes to 2.1.Work programme “Research and innovation”.
The INNOV-DIARO project corresponds to the objectives formulated in
„1.2.2. Encouraging the regional innovative projects and the trans-regional
cooperation” within the Work programme “Research and innovation”.
„1.2.2.3. The analysis and benchmarking of the innovation policies to
support PRO INNO Europe”, Strand 3. INNO-Views.
The INNO-DIARO project objective, to identify the new problems and future
challenges regarding the exploration made through the regional dialogue between
stakeholders (public and local authorities, experts, managers, etc.) corresponds
to the INNO-Views strand and represents at the same time an exercise in
achieving the INNO-Learning Platform.

In order to use the social capital, to build virtual communities at regional level through the dialogue between
stakeholders:
mutual knowledge achieved through sharing and learning
mutual interests and responsibilities
community memory
community stories – about successes and failures
Theoretical approach:
knowledge management from a social perspective, undergoing a process of
development, is less ideological and relativist (as compared to the
mathematical, engineer’s one) and the acknowledgement of the importance of
the models in the development of the social systems but it also acknowledges
their unpredictability.
we combine aspects resulting from the biological (ecology; evolution)
and /or the mathematical mechanisms (the chaos theory), based on the social
mechanisms (search for legitimacy, mimetic pressure, etc.).
In this approach
The combination of these mechanisms and theories is made through the
acknowledgement of the importance of the human factor in shaping the
directions and the innovative behaviors. From the social perspective of
knowledge management what is emphasized as important is the role of
organizations to run experiments, to learn and to adjust continuously, also
through the organization strategy. People are part of the system, which
represents essentially a social system in which creativity and inspiration are
highly valued.
If at organizational level the intellectual capital era is already acknowledged, it is
forecast that it will expand at social level, becoming the social capital era,
which will lead to an increase in its prosperity.
