“…Sandu (2012) considers the theoretical and methodological elements of smart specialisation by examining its application in Romana using an evaluation of implementation opportunities and instruments described in the Innovation Union objectives. Reimeris (2016) provides an overview of the research and innovation system in Lithuania, which has not changed although smart specialisation strategies have been implemented. Jishnu et al's (2011) paper regarding pharmacy education in India provides information regarding how its outdated system can be changed by using an innovation ecosystem and quality management.…”

“…Others, in turn, point to specific policies as those for adoption at the region/country level (Casaramona, Sapia, & Soraci, 2015). (Reimeris, 2016). As regards R&D, Reimeris (2016) poses a question for future research work: Can the changes currently observed in the Lithuanian R&D system be replicated and generalised to other regions/countries?…”

“…As regards R&D, Reimeris (2016) poses a question for future research work: Can the changes currently observed in the Lithuanian R&D system be replicated and generalised to other regions/countries? (Reimeris, 2016). Another suggestion stems from studying the emergence and development of innovative partnerships and ideas as the immediate results from these prospective processes (Paliokaite et al, 2015).…”

Innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3): Past, present and future research

2018

The recent change in the regional development strategy of the European Union (EU) results in an important need to study the terms of change and their respective implications. This study seeks, through a bibliometric analysis, to ascertain the developments taking place in studies on research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) to identify shortcomings and opportunities for future research. This bibliometric review drew upon the Scopus database with the sample selected containing all the articles containing the keywords “Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation” or “RIS3.” This correspondingly reports how some authors maintain that the path the EU should take involves imitative innovation. Meanwhile, others propose that each region should specialise in those industries that are already established there and thus avoid targeting any areas they do not already know/specialise in. Our findings detail six clusters in RIS3 research, which help in contextualising the literature review: (a) business discovery; (b) smart specialisation; (c) innovation; (d) specialisation; (e) regional policies; and (f) regional development. This study furthermore sets out perspectives for future lines of research and correspondingly seeks to convey a vast theoretical basis that may serve as the point of departure for future studies.

“…However, there is also a more critical point of view with regard to the development of smart growth and development strategies, which emphasises that the development process itself does not oblige the strategy execution (e.g., Reimeris, 2016). Reimeris (2016) also recognises that smart development strategies (e.g., RIS3) provide a mechanism for the promotion of changes and the development of important vectors of future policies. Additionally, well-elaborated regional development policies that clearly identify priorities, evaluate available resources and possible obstacles are important for realising regional potential during the implementation of set aims (e.g., -ipilova, 2014).…”

One of the approaches to achieve sustainable development is based on smart specialization. Rural areas are of particular importance in ensuring sustainable development, the smart development of which largely determines the balanced sustainable development of a state as a whole. The present study reflects the quantitative and the qualitative assessment of sustainable development in the region of Latgale (Latvia) on the level of 19 districts; the assessment has been carried out on the basis of the concept of smart specialization. The assessment has been performed within the framework of the project 5.2 of the National Research Programme EKOSOC-LV. The quantitative assessment is based on scientific and practical experience taking into consideration the distinguishing features of the development of Latvian regions and districts, and it has resulted in the establishment of an integrated index (Smart Development Index), which comprises four dimensions ñ Resources, Population, Economy, and Management. The qualitative assessment is based on the views concerning the cornerstones of smart specialization and the factors influencing it expressed by experts from the state administration, business and scientific environment. Expert opinions have been collected by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The results of the research might facilitate the understanding of the support measures of smart specialization and the opportunities for sustainable development in rural areas, taking into account the level of the regional socio-economic development and the rate of development, as well as regional differences on the level of districts. The example of Latgale has shown that a small number of people and a low rate of development in most of the region districts simultaneously create both the acute need for and a great challenge in the sphere of sustainable development. By contrast, as a result of both the quantitative and the qualitative assessment the population has been recognised to be the main driving force of the development of rural areas in Latgale region.
