Explore the ultimate guides on place-based transformation
A hands-on resource set to empower local, regional and national stakeholders to drive societal well-being and climate-resilient development through strategic partnerships.
In this anthology, leading scholars reflect on the conditions for place-based innovation for sustainability and its consequences for directionality, strategy development, governance, actors, and instruments for delivery and investment.
This report underpins the Partnerships for Regional Innovation Playbook by synthesising the main concepts and rationales in support of PRI.
Projects
This call aims to facilitate and promote the transformative innovation approach by awareness raising, capacity building, and experimentation activities with selected participants.
An Exploratory Research Activity that aims to research how regional innovation policies can effectively leverage the dual-use and defence industry.
Place-based transformative innovation can help accelerating the adaptation of the EU and its territories to the impacts of climate change.
This project considers how higher education can support systems change, what skills are required and how this can be made a reality in EU territories.
POLYTRoPOS project aims to build the knowledge base, investigate the feasibility and demonstrate the potential policy applications of System Dynamics (SD) in the area of system-level innovation.
This Pilot action project saw the voluntary participation of 74 European territories to learn more on place-based transformative innovation policies.
Transforming Territories Working Paper Series
This JRC Working Paper Series collects scientific contributions with high policy relevance specifically for a better understanding of place-based transformative innovation.
It aims to bring new perspectives to both the design and implementation of approaches for systems change and the role of places, and point out their relevance for the European policy agenda of prosperity, security and democracy, with a particular focus on competitiveness in the twin transition.
