Project description
Research bridges innovation disparities across regions
In the realm of innovation, EU regions face challenges accessing the European Innovation Council (EIC), hindering their potential. The EU-funded RInnoValleys project will address these issues head-on. With a focus on inclusivity and connectivity, RInnoValleys employs the quadruple helix model, participatory approaches and peer learning to create a transnational action plan for enhancing access. Encompassing five EU countries, including rural areas, the project engages government, academia, industry and civil society stakeholders. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, RInnoValleys strives to bridge gaps, ensuring all regions thrive in the global innovation landscape. This ambitious initiative aligns with the New European Innovation Agenda, embodying a vision for a more cohesive, connected and balanced EU innovation ecosystem.
Objective
RInnoValleys is a project that aims to address the challenges and disparities faced by EU regions in accessing the European Innovation Council (EIC) and fully leveraging its benefits for their innovation ecosystems. The project focuses on creating a transnational joint action plan to enhance the capabilities of these regions to connect with the EIC ecosystem and foster inclusive, gender-diverse, and connected innovation ecosystems in line with the New European Innovation Agenda. The project adopts the Quadruple Helix Model, the participatory approach, peer learning and best practice sharing, joint transnational action plan development, capacity building, and implementation support, communication, and dissemination to achieve its objectives. The project will engage stakeholders from government, academia, industry, and civil society in each region and cover 5 EU countries, including rural areas, ensuring gender equality objectives. The project's methodology aims to ensure that the solutions developed are relevant, inclusive, and responsive to the unique needs and priorities of the participating regions. By combining these concepts, models, and assumptions, the RInnoValleys project methodology aims to address the challenges faced by EU regions in accessing the EIC, foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, and enhance the innovation capabilities of the regions. Ultimately, the project seeks to create a more cohesive, connected, and balanced innovation ecosystem within the European Union, ensuring that all regions can more equally thrive and prosper in the global innovation landscape.
