UN APPROCCIO PLACE-BASED PER LO SVILUPPO DI SISTEMI REGIONALI DI RICERCA IN ITALIA

Abstract

This work has three objectives. The first is the creation of an extensive mapping of technological districts, innovation poles, excellence research centers, laboratories and science parks in the Italian regions. The second is about monitoring, employing data from Open Cohesion, the state of the art of regional and national programs that aim at building local research networks and innovation networks. The third objective is to compare the sectorial priorities chosen by Regions according to their Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) with the existing sectors in their research networks. Finally, the study explores to what extent the presence of the industrial districts in the regions has facilitated the formation of technological districts and innovation poles.
