MAPS-LED “Multidisciplinary Approach to Plan Smart Specialization Strategies for Local Economic Development” is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie RISE research project funded by the European Union’s HORIZON 2020 program for Research and Innovation. The project intends to examine how S3 can be implemented, with respect to the new agenda of Europe 2020, by incorporating a place-based dimension.
The main aims are:
1) to identify and examine S3 in terms of spatial, social and environmental factors;
2) to take into account local needs and opportunities driving regional policy interventions not only to emphasize “Key Enable Technologies”, but also to empower local innovation process – tacit knowledge, embedded social networks, innovative milieu.
