Help shape the Future of Smart Specialisation Strategies in Europe!

In collaboration with Prognos AG, we have launched the survey on the future of Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3), part of an ongoing study commissioned by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO). The consultation seeks to gather insights and feedback to evaluate and refine Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) as a framework for driving regional innovation and economic transformation across the EU.

Why Your Input Matters

Smart Specialisation is a cornerstone of EU Cohesion Policy, aimed at empowering regions to identify and develop areas of competitive advantage through research and innovation. Your feedback will play a crucial role in shaping future policies, ensuring they address the real needs and challenges of regions, businesses, and innovation ecosystems.

Who Should Participate?

The survey is open to a wide range of stakeholders, including:

  • Regional and national policymakers
  • Researchers and innovation experts
  • Representatives from the private sector
  • Members of academia and civil society involved in innovation or regional development.

Your perspective will help ensure the outcomes reflect the diverse needs and priorities across Europe.

How to Participate

The survey is hosted on the EU Survey platform and is available in multiple languages to ensure accessibility. It includes a mix of questions on:

  • The implementation and effectiveness of current S3 policies
  • Challenges and opportunities in regional innovation
  • Recommendations for enhancing the S3 framework

Estimated completion time is approximately 15-20 minutes. Your responses will be treated confidentially and will directly inform the European Commission’s evaluation and recommendations.

Make Your Voice Heard

The survey is open until 17 February 2025. 

Take the survey today!
