RIS3_Net

Interregional Cooperation for the Smart Growth of the MAC Regions

Aim of the project

RIS3_Net aims to foster interregional cooperation for the smart growth of the regions of the MAC Space. Funded under Axis 5 – to improve the institutional capacity and efficiency of public administration, RIS3_Net intends to improve this capacity by promoting cross-border cooperation and between the citizens and the institutions involved.

Following the guidelines defined by the European Commission, RIS3_Net contributes to greater efficiency in the implementation of the Research and Innovation Strategies for Intelligent Specialization (RIS3) of the Regions of the MAC Space. To this end, it will develop an institutional cooperation strategy, designing a common governance system, aimed at the institutions responsible for planning, executing, and monitoring the RIS3 of the Macaronesian regions (Azores, Madeira, and Canaries), taking into account the potential for expansion to third countries.

The RIS3_Net project aims to foster cooperation between different institutions in Macaronesian regions and third countries, with the aim of developing the Common Intelligent Specialization Strategy – RIS3 MAC. In this sense, SCTA actors, who also participate in the thematic working groups of RIS3 Azores, were invited to be stakeholders in the project, contributing to the establishment of networks and partnerships.
