4. General Goal (1) To contribute to the understanding of: -diffusion processes of knowledge and innovation and -the socio-economic impacts of innovation and knowledge in space, by identifying the different “territorial patterns of innovation” in Europe. A territorial pattern of innovation is defined as a combination of context conditions and of specific modes of performing the different phases of the innovation process.

5. General Goal (2) The general phylosophy of the project is in line with the words of Danuta Hübner (2009): “Innovation is not considered as a linear process that starts with research, eventually leading to development, translated later into growth in the territories that have more capabilities. Instead, it is the product of a policy mix, including several bodies and stakeholders in which the territories, their specificities and conditions are paramount”.

6. General Goal (3) In our project: -> we do not look for the territorial capabilities that allow territories (in general) to exploit innovation and knowledge; -> instead, we look for territorial specificities (context conditions) that are behind different modes of performing the different phases of the innovation process through the identification of territorial patterns of innovation.

7. Requirements Requirements for achieving this goal: -a consistent database for the state of the art in innovation and knowledge; -comparison with the EU and national data; -identification of the most important inter-regional spillover mechanisms; -the identification of new development opportunities through innovation for Europe and its territories; -an inventive framework for a scientific answer to the policy questions.

Output: typologies of regional performance based on innovation and knowledge WP 2.3.2 D) Case studies WP 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 E) Policy implications for the development of a successful knowledge economy WP 2.6

9. A) Knowledge Economy and its Spatial Trends (I) Basic idea: knowledge-based economy has not got a unique interpretative paradigm. Different approaches are necessary: A1. Sectoral approach (presence in the region of science-based, high-technology sectors). A2. Functional approach (presence in the region of functions like R&D and high education). A3. Relation-based approach (presence in the region of interactive and collective learning processes).

10. A) Knowledge Economy and its Spatial Trends (II) Spatial elements matter: -high-technology firms cluster along valleys, corridors, glens and high-tech districts to exploit the innovative atmosphere (technologically advanced regions); -high-education and research functions cluster in space since physical proximity acts as a driver of knowledge (scientific regions); -geographical areas characterised by cognitive proximity (shared behavioural codes, common culture, mutual trust and sense of belonging) show wider collective learning processes (networking regions).

41. E) Policy recommendations The aim of the project is to produce policy recommendations on the achievement of a “smart growth” for Europe, intended as an economic growth based on knowledge and innovation. In “EU2020” this priority rejects a “one size fits all approach”. Recommendations in this field have to: be tailored on each “territorial pattern of innovation” be based on specific policy interventions reinforce territorial preconditions that strengthen each innovation pattern in terms of economic performance.
