Descripción del proyecto
El futuro de la investigación y la innovación en los Balcanes Occidentales
Si bien los países de los Balcanes Occidentales muestran un aumento de las capacidades de investigación e innovación (I+i), aún queda mucho por hacer para trabajar con el resto de la Unión Europea en igualdad de condiciones. El proyecto WBC-RRI.NET financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo impulsar la I+i en los países de los Balcanes Occidentales mediante la adopción de un marco de desarrollo sostenible basado en principios de investigación e innovación responsables a escala local. Esta iniciativa ayudará a mejorar la planificación en materia de I+i, incluidas las estrategias de especialización inteligente en los Balcanes Occidentales, y fomentará un fuerte desarrollo socioeconómico al tiempo que informa la política de I+i y permite que la región aborde sus necesidades. Al final del proyecto, habrá desencadenado un diálogo abierto, creado una red regional y ayudado a los países de los Balcanes Occidentales a contribuir al objetivo de un Espacio Europeo de Investigación único y sin fronteras.
Objetivo
Although Western Balkan countries (WBCs) have improved in terms of R&I performance, research and innovation efforts should be further enhanced for bridging the remaining ‘gap’ with the rest European regions. RRI principles can act as enablers for the sustainable development of the local R&I systems, enhancing the effectiveness of R&I strategies contributing to the advancement of Western Balkan socio-economic progress in a transparent, open, and inclusive way through active participation of all quadruple helix actors.
WBC-RRI.NET aims to foster the application of RRI principles at the territorial level in five (5) Western Balkan -4 region-level and 1 country-level- R&I ecosystems and promote a multi-level steering R&I governance framework in the WBCs. RRI principles will act as enablers to the shared learning and diffusion of R&I governance innovations at territorial level, enhancing R&I planning, including S3 Strategies in the WBCs.
The project’s approach evolving through an analytical, reflective and implementation thread, will operationally address the 5 WB territories (partners represent all parts of the quadruple helix) and subsequently influence the wider WB region, by activating the embedding of RRI into their R&I ecosystems. This will be realised by RRI activities throughout the entire project (horizontal aspect), raising an active dialogue in the wider WB region and fostering the comprehension of all RRI pillars under a holistic framework based on a ‘smart directionality’ approach, offering stakeholder engagement with a focus on citizen participation. Alongside, 5 RRI ‘anchor’ initiatives (vertical aspect), as interventions touching in-depth specific RRI keys, territorial features and scientific domains, will allow RRI principles to be rooted in the territorial ecosystems leading to concrete impact to R&I territorial policies and societal regional needs. Finally, impact evaluation and dissemination activities focus on the project’s long-term sustainability.
