The role of RIS3 in Cohesion Policy
Brussels, 18 September 2012Luisa Sanches
Policy Analyst – InnovationDG REGIO
Cohesion Policy paradigm shift towards Cohesion Policy paradigm shift towards innovationinnovation
• Cohesion policy contributes to unlock the growth potential of the EU by promoting innovation in all regions.
• For 2007-2013, 86 billion to innovation, of which 65 billion come from the ERDF. That is 25% of its total budget. For the less developed regions the ERDF is the most important source and enabler to leveraging national and private funds.

• Centralised management for grants allocation
• Competitive calls (or beneficiaries identified in the work programme)
• ‘Use it or lose it principle’ to ensure effective implementation
• Economies of scale and synergies between sectors to lower administrative costs

Thematic objectives Ex ante conditionality Criteria for fulfilment
1. Strengthening research, technological development and innovation (R&D target)
(referred to in Article 9(1) )
1.1. Research and innovation:
The existence of a national or regional research and innovation (strategy) (strategic policy framework(s)) for smart specialisation in line with the National Reform Programme, to leverage private research and innovation expenditure,
[ which complies with the features of well-performing national or regional research and innovation systems.]
For research infrastructures only: 1.2 The existence of a multi-annual
plan for budgeting and prioritization of investments.
– is based on a SWOT analysis to concentrate resources on a limited set of research and innovation priorities;
– outlines measures to stimulate private RTD investment;
– contains a monitoring [ and review ] system.
A framework outlining available budgetary resources for research and innovation;
A [indicative] multi-annual plan for budgeting and prioritization of investments linked to EU priorities [and, where appropriate, the] European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures -ESFRI).

2. Enhancing access to and use and quality of ICT
(Broadbandtarget)(referred to in Article 9(2) )(R&D target)(referred to in Article 9(1) )
2.1. Digital growth: [ The existence within the
national or regional innovation strategy for smart specialisation of an explicit chapter for ] A strategic policy framework for digital growth to stimulate demand for affordable, good quality and interoperable ICT-enabled private and public services and increase uptake by citizens, including vulnerable groups, businesses and public administrations including cross-border initiatives.
[A strategic policy framework for digital growth, for instance, within the national or regional innovation strategic policy framework for smart specialisation is in place that contains]:- budgeting and prioritisation of actions through a SWOT analysis [ carried out inAlignment ] consistent with the Scoreboard of the Digital Agenda for Europe;– an analyses of balancing support for demand and supply of information andcommunication technologies (ICT) should have been conducted;– indicators to measure progress [measurable targets for outcomes] of interventions in the field of digital literacy,skills, e-inclusion, e-accessibility, and e-health [within the limits of Article 168 TFEU ] which are aligned with existingrelevant sectoral national or regional strategies.– assessment of needs to reinforce ICT capacity-building.
What is Smart Specialisation ?What is Smart Specialisation ?
‘Knowledge for Growth’ expert group (DG RTD) launched concept in the framework of ERA;
Problem: fragmentation/imitation/duplication of public R&D investments;
Stresses role for all regions in the knowledge economy, if they can identify competitive advantages in specific activities with knowledge and productive roots
Challenges: Smart specialisation has to embrace the concept of open innovation, not only investment in (basic) research.
= place-based economic transformation agendas
1) Focus policy support and investments on key national/regional priorities, challenges and needs for knowledge-based development (= tough choices)
2) Build on each country's/region’s strengths, competitive advantages and potential for excellence (= critical mass, differentiation)
3) Support all forms of innovation
4) Get stakeholders fully involved and encourage experimentation and private sector investment
5) Evidence-based and include sound monitoring and evaluation systems

• The platform is run by a steering team gathering representatives of several Commission Services: REGIO, EMPL, RTD, ENTR, EAC, CNECT, SANCO, CLIMA, AGRI and the JRC.
• The steering group started its activity in January to prepare the list of actions and launching of the Platform and meets regularly every month.
• A mirror group was set up: for advise and follow-up: High-level experts, representatives of Networks and bodies
(e.g. EURADA, ERRIN, UEAPME, EBN, OECD, European Cluster Observatory, European Cluster Alliance, etc.) It gathers every three months.
