RRI within regional development policies: the case of Catalonia, Lower Austria and Nordland (D2.3)

SeeRRI project has the overall objective of establishing a foundation for building self-sustaining R&I ecosystems in Europe. In doing this, the WP2 (Active mapping of SeeRRI territorial R&I ecosystems and the inclusion of RRI) has a strategic relevance since it is the occasion to map and extract knowledge from the selected SeeRRI territories in order to understand the current situation of the R&I ecosystems and to define a basic framework for integrating RRI approach into regional development policies. The basis for the definition of a common procedure for actively mapping R&I ecosystems and stakeholders is presented in the Deliverable 2.1 – Report on procedures and guidelines for active mapping. The mapping procedure is divided into two complementary parts: the ‘quantitative mapping’ (T2.2) and the ‘qualitative mapping’ (T2.3). The present Deliverable 2.3 – RRI within regional development policies: the case of Catalonia, Lower Austria and Nordland describes in detail the ‘qualitative mapping’ methodology and the results of its application to the 3 SeeRRI territories.
