Doubts and questions on RIS3 implementation
The promotion of entrepreneurship and creativity-based economy
requires entrepreneur and creative players
faculty
students
a holistic perspective on (higher) education
centred on the dimensions of the human being
personal
(cognitive, affective,
ethical, artistic,
physical…)
social
cultural
political
…
Doubts and questions on RIS3 implementation
effective University-business cooperation requires
high quality research
(in emerging or traditional areas)
RI3 strategies require knowledge for international competitiveness
the concept of “regional research” must be refused
EU2020 needs to promote a effective and fluid link between regional
strategies and R&D competitive programmes (H2020)
