Descripción del proyecto
Devolver la vida industrial a la región del Danubio
La zona del Danubio tiene una tradición antigua de fabricación y producción industrial. Sin embargo, la agitación política, la globalización y los avances tecnológicos afectaron a muchas de sus regiones y provocaron el cierre de varias plantas industriales, así como graves efectos socioeconómicos. Reabrir antiguos polígonos industriales fortalecerá la capacidad de las regiones de desarrollar soluciones innovadoras para abordar retos ecológicos, sociales y económicos. En el proyecto RIS4Danu, financiado con fondos europeos y directamente relacionado con la Estrategia de la Unión Europea para la región del Danubio (EUSDR), se propone un conjunto de acciones concertadas hacia planes estratégicos de desarrollo empresarial para la reapertura de veintiún polígonos industriales en desuso en la zona. El equipo del proyecto aplicará un enfoque de especialización inteligente basado en pruebas a fin de apoyar la innovación basada en el lugar para transiciones verdes, digitales e inclusivas en la región del río Danubio.
Objetivo
The CSA RIS4Danu proposes a series of concerted actions over 24 months to elaborate strategic business development plans for the re-opening of 21 disused industrial sites in the Danube Macro-Region, an area that stretches from the Black Forest to the Black Sea. The project directly connects to the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR), a macro-regional strategy to address common economic and societal challenges and create synergies and coordination between existing policies and initiatives. Danube neighbouring states share a proud and centuries-old history of manufacturing and industrial production, yet political upheavals, globalisation and technological advancements have confronted many Danube regions with the challenges of structural transformation and have triggered the closing down of numerous industrial plants and sites. In many regions, plant closures and the associated displacement of workers caused severe socio-economic effects on workers, local communities and regions.
At the heart of the RIS4Danu project is the goal of applying an evidence-based Smart Specialisation (S3) approach to support place-based innovation for green/digital and inclusive transitions in regions along the Danube River. This project ties in with current debates and requests to combine smart specialisation with considerations of socio-ecological challenges such as climate change, environmental issues and growing social and territorial inequality: Smart Specialisation Strategies for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth (S4+).
We argue that the re-opening of old industrial sites shows the potential to build transformative resilience in less-favoured Danube regions. These sites could serve as innovation anchors, unleashing opportunities for the entire region to strengthen their capacity to develop innovative solutions to place-specific ecological, social and economic challenges. Project activities include cross-regional peer exchange and a transfer of knowledge along the Danube River.
