Research and InnovationCohesion policy 2014-2020
Introduction of ex-ante conditionalities to ensure that the necessary conditions for effective support are in place.
For research and innovation:
• The existence of a national or regional research and innovation strategy for smart specialisation in line with the National Reform Programme
– to leverage private research and innovation expenditure
– complies with the features of well-performing national or regional research and innovation systems
European UnionCohesion Policy │ 10
1. Promoting research and innovation is considered as a key policy instrument to enhance competitiveness and job creation, address major societal challenges and improve quality of life and is communicated as such to the public.
2. Design and implementation of research and innovation policies is steered at the highest political level and based on a multi-annual strategy. Policies and instruments are targeted at exploiting current or emerging national/regional strengths within an EU context ("smart specialisation")
3. Innovation policy is pursued in a broad sense going beyond technological research and its applications.
4. There is adequate and predictable public investment in research and innovation focused in particular on stimulating private investment.
5. Excellence is a key criterion for research and education policy6. Education and training systems provide the right mix of skills7. Partnerships between higher education institutes, research centres and business, at
regional, national and international level, are actively promoted8. Framework conditions promote business investment in R&D, entrepreneurship and
innovation9. Public support to research and innovation in businesses is simple, easy to access, and
high quality10. The public sector itself is a driver of innovation

Thematic ex-ante conditionalities (2)
Thematic objectives Ex ante conditionality Criteria for fulfilment
2. Enhancing accessibility to and use and quality of information and communication technologies (Broadband target)
(referred to in Article 9(2) )
2.1. Digital growth: The existence within the national or regional innovation strategy for smart specialisation of an explicit chapter for digital growth to stimulate demand for affordable, good quality and interoperable ICT-enabled private and public services and increase uptake by citizens, including vulnerable groups, businesses and public administrations including cross border initiatives.
– A chapter for digital growth within the national or regional innovation strategy for smart specialisation is in place that contains:
– budgeting and prioritisation of actions through a SWOT analysis carried out in alignment with the Scoreboard of the Digital Agenda for Europe;
– an analyses of balancing support for demand and supply of information and communication technologies (ICT) should have been conducted;
– measurable targets for outcomes of interventions in the field of digital literacy, skills, e-inclusion, e-accessibility, and e-health which are aligned with existing relevant sectoral national or regional strategies.
– assessment of needs to reinforce ICT capacity-building.
2.2. Next Generation Access (NGA) Infrastructure: The existence of national NGA Plans which take account of regional actions in order to reach the EU high-speed Internet access targets, focusing on areas where the market fails to provide an open infrastructure at an affordable cost and to an adequate quality in line with the EU competition and state aid rules, and provide accessible services to vulnerable groups.
– A national 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.

– measures to reduce the time to set-up business to 3 working days and the cost to €100;
– measures to reduce the time needed to get licenses and permits to take up and perform the specific activity of an enterprise to 3 months;
– a mechanism for systematic assessment of the impact of legislation on SMEs using an "SME test" while taking into account differences in the size of enterprises, where relevant.
3.2. Transposition into national law of Directive (2011/7/EU) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 on combating late payment in commercial transactions.

Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation – RIS³
An economic transformation agenda based on 4Cs:
• (Tough) Choices: select few priorities on the basis of international specialisation and integration on international value chains – avoid duplication and fragmentation in ERA
• Competitive (Constructed) Advantage: mobilize talent by matching RTD + i and business needs & capacities – entrepreneurial discovery process
• Critical Mass/Clusters: develop world class excellence clusters and provide arenas for related variety/cross-sectorial links which drive specialised technological diversification
• Collaborative Leadership: efficient innovation systems as a collective endeavour based on public-private partnership (quadruple helix) – experimental platform – give voice to un-usual suspects

To maximize the competitiveness impact of research and innovation and raising and spreading levels of excellence in the research base
Focus on creating endogenous growth on the basis of local assets, capabilities and economic potentialities.
Based on individual R&D Projects often of a pre-competitive nature aiming at improving leading edge basic research
Based on multiannual Programmes aiming at increased economic competitiveness through close to the market competitive R&D and innovation efforts
Awarded directly to final beneficiaries (firms, public and private R&D centres and Universities)
Awarded through shared management to national and regional public intermediaries
Competitive calls addressed to international groupings through peer review based on excellence criteria
Non competitive attribution addressed to regional players based on strategic planning negotiation
