International collaboration
• Support for Greek teams participation in programs and
activities in priority areas that have been identified through the
Smart Specialization Strategy.
Examples are calls related to Key Enabling Technologies that are
important for the priority areas, as well as the use of ERA-nets, the
Joint Technology Initiatives, the Joint Programming Initiatives, and
EUREKA / EUROSTARS for shaping and co-financing research
priorities of national importance.
• Diffusion of research results that can be used in priority areas,
in regional production systems and the critical sectors of the
country.
27
Regional vs National Smart specialization
28
National – Regional Level
• National strategy is not the sum-up of the
regional strategies
• National level
– Emphasis on the consolidation of
interventions at areas of national importance
– Better exploitation of scattered capabilities
and infrastructures
– Mitigation of the mismatch between economic
and research specialisation at the regional
level
29
National – Regional Level
• Interventions at national level:
– contribute to the objectives of the regional
strategies in common areas of specialisation
• Regions usually ask the support of research in
common areas to be undertaken at the national
level
– create new opportunities and spillovers at
regional level
30
Regional activities/criteria
• Mainly of local scope (and / or
small budget)
• Concentrate on technology
transfer and innovation (based on
the entrepreneurial discovery
process and the research
potential of the region).
31
National/regional network for Smart Specialization
Mission:
• Planning and programming the various
activities in local and/or national level
• Coordination of actions between national and
regional level
• Monitoring of activities
Composition: National (GSRT, Ministry of
Development, other ministries) and Regional
authorities officers
