Objectif There are very different capabilities to promote innovation and research in the different regions of Europe. One reason for this is due to the fact that social infrastructure and the innovative culture is very different through the continent. The INTRO project aims to build up social infrastructure that promotes regional innovation. The method will be to transfer the innovative spirit and processes from Iceland and South-east Ireland where rural and regional innovation has been systematically promoted to Poland's region of Lower-Silesia and to Latvia.The objectives are to transfer best practice to the new member regions from:- Southeast Ireland in relation to SME innovation support, methods of creating innovative and entrepreneurial culture and successful exploitation of research. Ireland's experience of promoting entrepreneurial culture, especially within SMEs, and successfully supporting exploitation of research results will be of great benefit to the partner regions since their main barriers for achieving economic growth is lack of entrepreneurial an innovative activity.- Iceland in relation to urban-rural cooperation, methods and processes creating local interest for education and research as enablers to innovation. Especial attention will be given to current organisation of regional Knowledge Centres that are clusters of regional education, research and innovation centres. The experience of building up support infrastructure, IT infrastructure and methods of enhancing innovative environment thro ugh education and research will be of great benefit to the partner regions.The regions in Poland, Lower-Silesia, and in Latvia will be introduced to best practices related to education, innovation and research, through measures and pilot actions that have already been tested and tried in Ireland and Iceland. The aim is that the methods developed in the INTRO project will be transferable to similar regions elsewhere in Europe, especially NAC regions.
