Smart Specialisation Community of Practice
The S3CoP is the central hub for guidance, networking, support, and peer learning on Smart Specialisation (S3), covering both its conceptual development and implementation. Building on a decade of experience, the S3CoP offers a fresh approach to supporting practitioners with a wide range of strategic services. By understanding their needs and co-designing tailored solutions, the S3CoP engages all quadruple-helix stakeholders interested in Smart Specialisation, creating a collaborative space for learning and progress.
As a partner, Opix will coordinate and facilitate Expert Group meetings within the Smart Specialisation Strategies Community of Practice (S3CoP) to discuss key issues and share insights. These discussions will form the basis of Policy Briefs, prepared by Opix to inform the Community.
In WP5, Opix will synthesize existing academic research, practitioner insights, and ad-hoc analyses on the S3 concept. The goal is to update, stimulate, and advance the S3 concept, identify key issues, and extract operational lessons to inform policy design and implementation.
