GP owner (region)
Dev-Up, Region Centre-Val de Loire, France
Can this GP address the policy need(s) identified in the previous section? If yes, how?
Yes, the good practice Ambition Research Development 2020 addresses the:
• Governance system in place to better manage projects in line with stakeholders;
• Monitoring of projects and introduction of RRI elements which is done on an annual basis by their Regional Council;
• Objective that R&D should provide socio-economic impacts as well as scientific outcomes.
In line with Irelands ‘Action Plan for Jobs’ and ‘Smart Specialisation Strategy’ the SRA prioritises strengthening links between HEIs and industry to accelerate economic and societal return on STI investment, strengthening enterprise engagement with public research and driving commercialisation of public research. There are limitations in the capacity of HEIs to generate RDI activity and commercialise RDI outputs, by following the principles of this Good Practice to measure the success of socio-economic impacts the aim is to see an acceleration in the commercialisation of research going forward.
