Thematic Networks
---
The 22 Regions of Excellence are grouped together in five Thematic Networks, according to their thematic priorities and previous links. The overall objective of these Thematic Networks is to analyse and describe their process models in order to encourage and develop start-ups. The results of this work are shared between all the members of the network who learn from each other and are able to adapt ideas and approaches tried and tested elsewhere. This working method should allow the improvement of regional systems through mutual learning, active exchange of experiences and should promote the visibility of successful schemes in Europe.
More concretely the Thematic Networks will :
- Identify existing resources and competencies in areas of excellence, as well as of relevant experiences and regional players,
- Organise information flows and interactive workshops, seminars, working groups, etc.,
- Exchange of information, knowledge and skills,
- Disseminate of success stories and good practices.
The five thematic networks and their members are :
- KREO : Oxford (UK), Karlsruhe (DE), Lyon-Grenoble (FR) and Emilia-Romagna (I).
- HIGHEST : Alpes-Maritimes (FR), Helsinki Region (FIN), Torino Area (I) South Sweden (S) and Berlin (DE).
- SPRING : Stockholm (S), Cambridge (UK), Stuttgart (DE) and Madrid (ES).
- PANEL : Munich (DE), Milan (I), Barcelona (ES) and Dublin (IR).
