About Regional Innovation Strategy Projects

Since 1994, more than 120 European regions have received support for carrying out Regional Innovation Strategy projects from the European Commission. These projects aim to support regions in developing regional innovation strategies that enhance regional innovation and competitiveness through optimising innovation policies and infrastructure.

RIS - Associated projects

Description Regions that have not carried out a Regional Innovation Strategy project with co-funding from the European Commission, but are committed to the development of their regional innovation system, can apply for ‘associate membership’ in the IRE network. Several of the current associated members have developed regional innovation strategies financed by regional means, often using the common Regional Innovation Strategy methodology. This methodology is based on three main elements: consensus-building among key actors within the regional innovation system, analysis of the regional innovation system, and the development of widely endorsed policies and strategic frameworks on innovation support.
