Policy and Smart Specialisation WG meeting: Regional Innovation Valleys: lessons learned and next calls

This joint Policy and Smart Specialisation Working Groups meeting will focus on the upcoming call for proposals ‘Implementing co-funded action plans for connected regional innovation valleys’ (HORIZON-EIE-2025-02-CONNECT-02), featuring a discussion around key elements of the call and a matchmaking activity.

The call refers to one of the key initiatives under the Flagship 3 of the New European Innovation Agenda and should be open from 14 May to 15 October 2025. Members will also benefit from feedback from Regional Innovation Valleys projects selected under the first Horizon Europe RIV call that ran in 2023, as well as inputs from the European Commission.

The event will take place on 10 April from 10:00-12:00 in person at the ERRIN premises - save the date!
