Linking the ‘Recovery and Resilience Plan’ and Smart Specialisation. The Greek Case
JRC Working Paper on Territorial Modelling and Analysis No 09/2022
This work analyses the alignment of investments in the Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan (‘the Greek RRP’) with the Smart Specialisation Strategies priorities (2021-2027) of the country and its regions to identify potential synergies and complementarities between funding instruments. The analysis indicates that up to €0.91billion of the Greek RRP (5.1% of the non-repayable EU support) directly supports the Smart Specialisation processes in Greece by providing for new or upgraded research infrastructures, mobility of researchers, and basic research in public-sector research organisations (universities and research centres), without explicitly earmarking funding for the smart specialisation priorities at the national or at the regional level. Moreover, an additional amount of €1.14billion (6.4% of the non-repayable EU support) contributes in an indirect manner to agri-food, tourism/creative industries and reskilling/upskilling, which are all smart specialisation priorities both at the national and at the regional level. The main challenge will be valorising these investments with appropriate policy measures using the approximately €5billion that are earmarked for policy objective 1 in the national and the regional operational programmes of this programming period, which by design are fully aligned with the national S3.
