S3P T&BD
On the 28th and 29th of November 2023, the S3 Forum will take place at the historic venue "La Llotja de Mar" in Barcelona, hosted by Generalitat de Catalunya. Two days to join regional actors across Europe to network, discuss S3 implementation, and exchange insights and best practices.
This year's Forum holds great significance, marking the first EU-level, in-person gathering on S3 since the 2020 pandemic.
The S3 Forum will address both the strategic and regulatory aspects of S3 policy making. Reflections on the evolution of Smart Specialisation and its ability to address emerging challenges will be framed against the key structural elements of S3.
While the S3 Forum will be a one-day event, there will be a set of side events on the 29th of November: the hosts of the S3 Forum, Generalitat de Catalunya, will host a side event in the same venue, namely: “Catalunya's S3 in action: Shared Agendas explained by their main players”. Thematic S3 Partnerships will also have their dedicated parallel event through the S3 Thematic Platforms Steering Committee meeting, open only to the lead regions and partner regions of the Thematic Smart Specialisation Platforms.
In the afternoon of this second day, there will be the possibility for ongoing Thematic Platforms to meet to discuss their current progress, any specific pilots/ projects supported by the Partnerships as well as the past/future activities of their specific TSSP. These specific meetings will offer the opportunity to delve deeper into the challenges of the specific partnerships and pilots' implementation and their possible solutions. Regarding Traceability & Big Data, it is currently exploring the possibility of organising a Technical Meeting; partners will be reached as soon as possible.
The S3 Forum promises to be an inclusive and insightful experience, where a diverse line-up of speakers will ensure the event resonates with participants across all areas of expertise.
