Abstract

This paper aims to examine potential for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to support ongoing development of research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3). It is based on a review of ‘entrepreneurial discovery’ exercises in four HEIs across Europe to identify how their capabilities could be more effectively mobilized to contribute to the implementation of RIS3 in their region. It draws on a multi-level - learning regions and learning organisations – conceptual framework to understand capabilities of individual HEIs to adapt their structures and practices in response to this new strategic environment and uses this analysis to present key insights for HEIs, policy makers and regional authorities for the ongoing involvement of HEIs in regional innovation strategies.
