As a joint event it combined policy expertise from the ongoing OECD project on Designing Smart Specialisation Strategies for Innovation Driven Growth and the European Commission’s S3 Platform implemented by IPTS. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the policy concept of smart specialization and its practical implications. It introduced tools and indicators that will help to revisit regional strategies and to start processes for designing, measuring and implementing national or regional research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3). The exchange between policy makers, experts, scientific institutions and the experience from existing regional specialization cases will maximize the policy learning for a successful implementation process.
