Organizing The Week of Innovative Regions conference under the Hungarian EU Council Presidency

The choice of the theme of this year's conference reflects on one of the priorities of the Hungarian presidency and a key factor of competitiveness for the European Union in the upcoming years. The discussions will contribute to the analysis of the state-of-the-art and identify challenges and best practices.

The program will cover these topics through examining several initiatives, concepts and tools launched, elaborated and offered by the European Union, such as the Smart Specialization concept, Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument, the Partnerships for Regional Innovation pilot, Regional Innovation Valleys.

In order to get a sufficiently detailed and complex picture speakers will address the effectiveness of these tools, present good practices, and highlight synergies of European and regional funding schemes.
