Webinar: Empowering interregional collaboration – from capacity to funding 16 May 2024 (10:00 – 12:00 CET) - Via Zoom: (link to be provided) This webinar is organised by the S3 Community of Practice (S3CoP) and the first in a series of webinars that the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy, with the support of the S3 Community of Practice Secretariat, is organising for S3 stakeholders from across regions in EU Member States. Interregional collaboration (IC) is relevant to the S3CoP and participating regions as the focus lies on building on the priorities set out in regional S3s and seeking opportunities for interregional collaboration based on the mapping of complementarities. The working group (WG) on interregional collaboration developed within the Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) Community of Practice (S3CoP) aims to foster a learning process for relevant policy stakeholders on the fulfilment of the S3 enabling condition for interregional collaboration.

[𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 — 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀, 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘂𝗺] 🇧🇪 On May 6th, the European Network of Maritime Clusters (ENMC) had the exclusive opportunity to attend the 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, a meeting attended by stakeholders from across Europe, gathered to exchange ideas on optimizing #EU #cluster initiatives and discuss key industry themes. This meeting led the way for our participation in the 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, in Brussels on the 7th and of 8th May, which we attended with our members Cluster Maritime Luxembourgeois asbl and Blauwe Cluster (Blue Cluster) vzw. 💡 The #EUClusterConference served as a dynamic platform for collaboration, exchange, and growth within the #cluster #community. It was an enriching experience during which we engaged with various clusters, sharing ideas, advice, and success stories, while discussing the future of this type of organization. Topics such as the green and digital transition, competitiveness, and the next EU mandate were at the forefront of our discussions. 👉 In addition, a roundtable focused on "Metaclusters", which links different clusters — such as the #ENMC through its 12 national cluster members — reflected a significant positive issue of the event, focusing on constructing new value chains or reshaping existing ones. This offered valuable insight into the dynamics of the European clusters. 🎙 Furthermore, we explored the crucial topic of #skills, with the presence of the head of the IRIUS's Master in Management of Innovative Networks and Ecosystems in Europe — Alain TUBIANA, offering valuable perspectives. The discussions highlighted the importance of adaptability to the industry's evolving demands. ✨ We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to these conversations and to connect with other representatives who share our commitment 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀. #ECC2024 European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP)
