TeRRItoria D3.3 Map of approaches, policies and tools for Territorial RRI

This document contains a Map of Approaches, Policies and Tools for Territorial RRI (from now on, the Map) that can be used, together with the results of other already available mapping exercises, for designing and implementing the five TeRRItoria Transformative Experiments. The Map summarises and elaborates the knowledge produced in the framework of the WP3 – Mapping governance innovation practices in Europe and beyond of the TeRRItoria project, in particular in two inventories focused on: bottom-up governance innovation practices (D3.1); RRI governance innovation practices (D3.2).

The Map has been drafted also to give a contribution in the ongoing debate on Territorial RRI and on the role of Research and Innovation (R&I) in the “Territory-making” processes. The Map starts with presenting what’s at stake with territorial RRI, related to the transformations affecting our post-modern society; the “de-territorialisation” process (that is the loss of control over the territory and the weakening of ties between a community and its territory); the “territory-making” practices aiming at dealing with de-territorialisation and activating a re-territorialisation (i.e., the development of new meaningful relations among actors and between them and their territory); the territorial dynamics in European cultural and political landscape; the possible role of a Territorial RRI – once developed – which may provide a general framework for R&I to produce knowledge supporting “territory-making” processes.
