Overview
The Alps are home to several innovation hotspots, but cross-sectoral and interregional cooperation is still limited. As this is becoming a key to creating new value chains and exploiting economic trends such as circular bioeconomy and health economy, the ARDIA-NET partners created an Alpine Research and Development Area, whose transregional funding framework will stimulate cooperation. In addition, the partners carried out demonstration projects to showcase the benefits of cross-border smart specialisation strategies.

Outcomes
-
Blueprint for a synchronized S3 RDI funding scheme
ToolGuidelines for a S3-based RDI funding scheme, providing administrative and thematic scope to leverage the capacity of regional S3 to foster RDI, economic growth and job creation through cross-regional collaboration.For executing the multi-level, multi-regional governance, dedicated guidance is developed for a synchronized funding scheme for RDI projects addressing the development of Alpine Space. The thematic scope (circular bioeconomy, health-economy) is implemented by focusing on combining priority areas defined in regional S3 and reflecting EUSALP macroregional S3 synergies. -
Training on cross-sectoral and -regional S3 cooperation opportunities
NetworkDemonstrator missions for the Alpine Space are implemented through synchronized demonstrator calls and ready-to-use-projects are developed as innovation beacons for sustainable development in the Alpine Space.Methodology and summary of training of policy makers, regional public authorities, funding authorities to implement and disseminate ARDIA-Net – an S3-based cross regional and cross-sectoral cooperation to increase the capacities of governance structures; Methodology and summary of demonstrator calls and projects within the ARDIA-Net funding scheme under the missions “circular bioeconomy” and “health economy”, as the consolidation of built capacities of governance structures for prompt piloting. -
Strategy for the establishment of a durable and upgradeable ARDIA network
StrategyA coherent strategy for an ARDIA common multi-level governance system that enables S3 cross-regional cooperation of policy makers, public authorities and funding authorities for executing a common funding scheme.A strategy for a durable and upgradeable ARDIA network serves as code of conduct for consolidation of new capacities of governance structures to implement a cross-regional funding scheme governance structure
