Would you like to discover how science is helping develop innovation policies in your territory?
Around 200 territories (Member States, regions and cities) are participating and working side-by side with the JRC to implement a European Union Preparatory Action Innovation for place based transformation supported by the European Parliament. This Preparatory Action combines dissemination, outreach, capacity building and co-creation activities that will push further the capacities of the territories and mobilise resources to face pressing challenges, ranging from decarbonisation to digitalisation.
On 2 June we present results from territories in the experimentation journeys and first-hand experiences to prove the power of supporting place-based transformative innovation. It will also include a look at the future of the Preparatory Action, with the launch of new journeys in areas such as water resilience, preparedness or urban.
