‘…we have top-notch research infrastructure in Europe but not fully used. There is a mismatch of physical infrastructure and researchers and we need a better match between physical and human capital’ (and regional strategies) Spreading Excellence and Crossing the Innovation Divide Conference Brussels ǀ 23 November 2016
The call for synergies
• Building meaningful interactions between the two policy frameworks and their investment strategies can have significant impacts on the economy, combining place-based innovation investments in smart specialisation priorities with world-class research and innovation initiatives, thus ensuring a higher impact of the funds.
• Fostering synergies will not only bring about better efficiency, it will ultimately lead to a positive impact on jobs, growth and competitiveness across Europe's diverse regions – a positive impact from investing more in developing regional research and innovation capacities, the drivers of economic growth in the Union.
Synergies • Synergy-type 1: Providing funding from alternative sources for positively
evaluated Framework Programme/Horizon 2020 proposals but not funded due to insufficient Call budgets
• Synergy-type 2: Funding actions that build research and innovation capacities of actors aimed at participating in the Framework Programme/Horizon 2020 or other internationally competitive research and innovation programmes (sequential - upstream)
• Synergy-type 3: Funding actions that capitalise on already implemented Framework Programme/Horizon 2020 research and innovation actions aimed at market up-take (sequential - downstream)
• Synergy-type 4: Combining funding from the Framework Programme/Horizon 2020 and the ESI Funds (and/or from other sources) for coordinated parallel actions that complement each other
• Synergy-type 5: Bringing together funding from Horizon 2020 and the ESI Funds in an integrated research and innovation project that could be a single action or a group of inter-dependent actions or operations
Synergies – easy to describe, difficult to do…
Upstream Synergy-type 2
Downstream Synergy-type 3
Synergy-type 4 – parallel actions Synergy-type 5 – integrated actions
Synergy-type 1 – funding unsuccessful H2020 projects via ESIF

Smart Specialisation
Thanks to Annelie Zapfe – Thuringia Region
Smart specialisation
• Breaking with the past while building on the past…
• Identifying priorities through a process of Entrepreneurial Discovery Process – engaging stakeholders in identifying competitive advantage
Smart specialisation: three dimensions
Growth and jobs
Territorial development

Two tribes: research v administration
Two tribes: two ways of thinking Research and innovation
• Ideas
• People
• Ecosystem approach
• Personal career focus • Research and publications • Peer reviews important
Regional administration
• Process
• Efficiency
• Budget
• Audit
• Hierarchical structures

No territorial match
T1 Test facilities for innovation in surface transport
T2… Support for Lighthouse projects involving physical infrastructure for housing and transport and ICT investment
T3 Etc…
Joined up discussions between DG RTD and DG Regio to exchange information on thematic areas with territorial focus pre-2021

Joining up within and between regions
Conclusion
• Research and innovation as the driver of jobs and growth
• Regional research and innovation ecosystems now accepted • The muddy pond vs linear model
• Triple, quadruple…helix
• Need to join up two main funding streams at EU level – ESIF and H2020
• But…problems (time frames, objectives, processes, silos…in 2014-2020
• Opportunity to develop new types of actors on the ground to help develop synergies…
• What future roles for NCPs?
