The document discusses the role of higher education institutions in fostering regional smart specialization and innovation across Europe, emphasizing collaboration between universities and various stakeholders. It outlines key requirements for using structural funds and highlights the need for innovative ecosystems to address societal challenges through open innovation and user-driven approaches. Additionally, it presents examples of incubators and collaborative units aimed at closing the innovation divide and enhancing regional development through modernized governance and technology integration.
![CoR
Opinion
on
“Closing
the
Innova<on
Divide”
(30
May
2013)
The
recent
development
has
throughout
the
world
led
to
new
operaBonal
units
with
flexible
enBBes
characterized
by
a
strong
collaboraBve
approach
in
all
their
acBviBes.
As
the
Commi/ee
of
the
Regions
defined
in
its
opinion
“Closing
the
InnovaBon
Divide”,
the
examples
include:
Incubators
and
Accelerators,
Living
Labs,
Entrepreneurial
Hubs,
Development
Labs,
Social
Innova<on
Labs,
Fab
Labs,
Societal
Innova<on
Learning
Camps
and
Future
Centers.
They
usually
operate
as
associated
collaboraBve
enBBes
of
universiBes,
municipaliBes
and
businesses.
Other
points
in
the
opinion
include:
1. “As
many
phenomena
of
the
digital
society
have
already
demonstrated,
significant
transforma<on
takes
place
from
the
bo]om
up,
and
a
pervasive
mindset
of
"entrepreneurial
discovery"
is
cri<cal.
The
CoR
encourages
the
Commission
to
set
up
"entrepreneurial
discovery"
programmes
to
work
at
different
levels
and
discover
what
is
most
effecBve
for
local
needs
and
European
scaling.”
2. “InnovaBon
communiBes
operate
as
ecosystems
through
systemic
value
networking
in
a
world
without
borders.
Regions
need
new
arenas
as
hotspots
for
innova<on
co-‐
crea<on.
These
could
be
described
as
"innovaBon
gardens"
and
"challenge
plaorms",
which
together
form
prototype
workspaces
for
invenBng
the
future.”
3. “The
best
pioneers
for
developing
and
running
Europe-‐wide
projects
should
be
financed
through
Horizon
2020
and
cohesion
funding
–
the
aim
being
also
to
test
effecBve
methodologies
and
tools
in
real
life
collaboraBon
and
cross-‐border
learning.”

- 1. Open Days 2013 Workshop: “Higher Educa<on Ins<tu<ons and Smart Specialisa<on” Markku Markkula • Member of the EU Commi/ee of the Regions, Rapporteur on “Horizon 2020” and “Closing the InnovaBon Divide” • Espoo, Chair of the City Planning Board • Advisor to the Aalto Presidents at Aalto University markku.markkula@aalto.fi Smart SpecialisaBon refers not only to regional policy, it needs to have a strong role in acBviBes throughout the whole European innovaBon system. Also each university should know and dare specialize and collaborate openly, much more than before. In the new programme period in using structural funds, there are four new “guiding requirements” which strengthen the role of universiBes: 1. The use of funds is based on Regional Smart SpecialisaBon Strategies 2. The focus is on innovaBon 3. MulBfinancing and synergic collaboraBon between projects 4. Projects should collaborate on a European scale: European partnerships
- 2. To implement the Barroso State of the Union message on innovaBon Europe needs its own “Blue Ocean Strategy” PIONEERING REGIONAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS MulB-‐level Governance Plaorm: Regional InnovaBon Ecosystems, Local Digital Agendas, Knowledge Triangle, Living Labs, Modernising Triple Helix, InnovaBon Partnerships, Shared Ownership, MulB-‐financing High-‐level University Research CreaBng New InnovaBve SoluBons To Grand Societal Challenges Markku Markkula
- 3. José Manuel Durão Barroso President of the European Commission State of the Union address 11 September 2013 “We are also adapting to a dynamic transformation on a global scale, so we must encourage this innovative dynamism at a European scale. That is why we must also invest more in innovation, in technology and the role of science. I have great faith in science, in the capacity of the human mind and a creative society to solve its problems. The world is changing dramatically. And I believe many of the solutions are going to come, in Europe and outside Europe, from new science studies, from new technologies. And I would like Europe to be leading that effort globally.”
- 4. Modernizing Triple Helix: Co-‐crea<ng Regional Innova<on Ecosystems Open Days 9 October 2013 Markku Markkula DigiBsaBon and globalisaBon drive change, and convergence towards digital services is speeding up. For regions and ciBes together this means new kind of collaboraBon with universiBes and industry to create new innovaBon ecosystems based on the following: 1) InnovaBon communiBes operate as ecosystems through systemic value networking in a world without borders. 2) InnovaBon processes are strongly based on demand-‐driven user orienta<on and customers as crucial players in innovaBons. 3) InnovaBon strategies focus on catalysing open innova<on and encouraging individuals and communiBes towards an entrepreneurial discovery and effecBve use digitalised services. 4) InnovaBon is ocen based on experimen<ng and implemen<ng demonstra<on projects by partnerships, using the best internaBonal knowledge and creaBng new innovaBve concepts. UniversiBes are the key drivers of this development.

- 8. Regional Innova<on Ecosystems: Case T3 Espoo / Aalto University Campus IntegraBng real and virtual worlds within the Energizing Urban Ecosystems EUE research program (for the whole EUE the budget is totally 20 m€ for 4 years) adopts cuing-‐edge techniques for spaBal data acquisiBon. These are applied to, and combined with, concepts for a digital ubiquitous ecosystem in Espoo City T3 area (Otaniemi – Keilaniemi – Tapiola). The target applicaBon will be a mobile and virtual smart city model with geospaBal virtual knowledge elements. Specific a/enBon will be paid to aspects of usability and innovaBve visualisaBon for various user needs. By capturing the city’s geometry and characterisBcs through laser scanning, the resulBng model can be applied in an informaBon modelling process to conduct different kinds of analysis. The virtual — possibly, photorealisBc — models used as the basis for the regional informaBon model create a virtual city, geometrically accurate and visually close-‐to-‐idenBcal with the real one. This enables city planning, built environment and real estate management professionals, as well as decision-‐makers and ciBzens, to use the model for diverse purposes. The resulBng regional informaBon models become shared knowledge resources to support decision-‐ making about a facility from earliest conceptual stages, through design and construcBon through its operaBonal life and eventual demoliBon. The starBng point for the regional informaBon modeling is the integraBon of exisBng building informaBon models, different spaBal informaBon systems, and state-‐of-‐the-‐art measuring techniques such as Mobile Laser Scanning, with virtual environments. This, in effect, creates a combinaBon of the physical and virtual worlds. Within the EUE program, we have used these instruments in creaBng our virtual collaboraBon plaorms. Online virtual reality hosBng systems, like Meshmoon, are sBll fairly new technologies, but the potenBal is high. Based on the text by the research team of professor Hannu Hyyppä, Aalto University
