New approaches to innovation through <strong>European</strong> Regional Policy<br />
Innovation is now fully considered as a cross-cutting issue at the core of EU<br />
policies. In this respect, the use of ERDF by regions has contributed to developing<br />
open innovation processes as new ways to generate innovation such as Living<br />
Labs. This workshop intends to provide regions with the opportunity to deliver<br />
two messages to the <strong>European</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>. Firstly, structural funds play an<br />
important role in implementing innovative projects for regional development<br />
and boosting <strong>European</strong> competitiveness; secondly, open innovation and Living<br />
Labs need to be encouraged and taken into account for the development of<br />
innovation processes.<br />
Strategic sustainable spatial planning assessment: Towards territorial<br />
cohesion<br />
This workshop examines the extent to which there is a need for a more strategic<br />
and integrated approach to regional development and sustainability, and a more<br />
holistic application of EU Directives with a territorial dimension. EU-level regional<br />
strategies are an opportunity to push in this direction. However, it is important<br />
that, for these strategies to succeed, different types of territorial development<br />
programmes and projects require a balanced trade-off between environmental,<br />
social and economic aspects in respecting regional characteristics and goals.<br />
