Descrizione del progetto
Portare nel futuro la ricerca e l’innovazione dei Balcani occidentali
Sebbene i paesi dei Balcani occidentali (WBC, Western Balkan Countries) abbiano dimostrato di avere migliorato la propria capacità di ricerca e innovazione (R&I), è necessario compiere ulteriori progressi per raggiungere il livello del resto dell’UE. Il progetto WBC-RRI.NET finanziato dall’UE, intende migliorare la ricerca e l’innovazione in tali paesi adottando un quadro di sviluppo sostenibile basato su principi di R&I responsabile a livello locale. Tale iniziativa contribuirà a migliorare la pianificazione in ambito R&I, comprese le strategie di specializzazione intelligente in questi paesi, nonché a promuovere un forte sviluppo socio-economico, orientando le politiche di R&I e permettendo alla regione di far fronte alle proprie esigenze. Al termine delle attività, il progetto avrà stimolato un dialogo aperto, creato una rete regionale e aiutato i paesi dei Balcani occidentali a contribuire all’obiettivo di uno spazio europeo della ricerca unico e senza confini.
Obiettivo
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.
