Challenges in Governance of Smart Specialisation in South East Europe
Smart specialisation-based innovation policies highlight the relevant role of both governance – including its structures and mechanisms – and stakeholders’ engagement among the enabling factors of well-functioning R&I ecosystems. When it comes to the analysis of S3 in SEE, the effects of the recent years of economic transformation and lock-in situations encourage analysis of the way non-flexible institutional infrastructures can significantly harm local innovation capacity development. This policy brief investigates how the governance of the S3 process has been broken down in the SEE, in particular in Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia by comparing main challenges, enabling conditions and efforts in terms of policy instruments and strategies that the SEE is facing when adopting the S3 framework.
