Key Actions from proposed Common Strategic Framework: Research & Innovation
• Innovation in enterprises • dissemination & adoption of new technologies, in particular Key
Enabling Technologies (through technology transfer, cooperation with research and education actors)
• Capacity-building for R&I excellence and technological change
• research infrastructures, facilities and competence centers, science parks
• Capacity-building for economic exploitation of new ideas from R&I
• clusters, cooperative partnership between research, education and innovation actors
• Fields: services, cultural and creative industries, social innovation, public procurement of innovation
GENERAL PRINCIPLES: Differentiated actions depending on the type of region Complementarity with Horizon 2020
13
Key Actions from proposed Common Strategic Framework: ICT
• Roll-out of open, affordable and future-proof Next Generation Access (NGA) Infrastructure in under-served areas
• eGovernment applications and take-up, eInclusion
• ICT applications to meet great societal challenges such as eHealth, ageing population, reducing carbon emissions, resource-efficiency, education, smart cities, etc.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES: Investment in infrastructures in areas where market fails to deliver Support should be provided through financial instruments Ensure high level of competition Complementarity with European Social Fund for eSkills, eAccessibility

A national or regional research and innovation strategy for smart specialisation is in place that: • is based on a SWOT analysis to concentrate
resources on a limited set of research and innovation priorities;
• outlines measures to stimulate private RTD investment;
• contains a monitoring and review system. A Member State has adopted a framework outlining available budgetary resources for research and innovation; A Member State has adopted a multi-annual plan for budgeting and prioritization of investments linked to EU priorities (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures -ESFRI).
Ex-ante conditionalities: Research & Innovation
Against the “fractal effect” "the same from near as from far"
15
A strategy for digital growth within the national or regional innovation strategy for smart specialisation is in place that contains: • budgeting and prioritisation of actions consistent with the
Scoreboard of the Digital Agenda for Europe; • an analyses of balancing support for demand and supply of
information and communication technologies (ICT) • measurable targets for outcomes of interventions • assessment of needs to reinforce ICT capacity-building.
A national Next-Generation Access (NGA) Plan is in place that contains: • a plan of infrastructure investments through demand
aggregation and a mapping of infrastructure and services, regularly updated;
• sustainable investment models that enhance competition and provide access to open, affordable, quality and future proof infrastructure and services;
• measures to stimulate private investment.
Ex-ante conditionalities: Digital growth
Towards an open, transparent, result-driven policy
Direct “control” by: Citizen, Data journalists, civil society, etc.
