Regional Action Plan to support the governance of Responsible Research & Innovation in the Southern & Eastern Regional Operational Programme 2014 - 2020
Interregional exchange has helped partners to learn and to design improvements to their own policy. Exchange has included:
• 8 Interregional Learning Events , organised across Europe and using different methods to share ideas, knowledge and challenges;
• Analysis of 11 Good Practices , coming from different areas of Europe and representing different aspects of the RI process;
• An Enterprise Survey carried out with 23 companies from across the MARIE regions, to gather feedback from the ground, from the enterprises that can and must drive Responsible Innovation and that represent the beneficiaries of public policy for research, development and innovation;
• RI Maturity Assessment 1 carried out in all MARIE regions and then grouped for an interregional comparison;
• 2 large scale public events organised in Dublin in October 2018 and October 2019 and engaging with other international projects working on RI.
The MARIE Action Plan template 2 was designed to lead partners through various stages of interregional exchange leading to definition of concrete activities for policy improvement.
The steps included within the Action Plan template were carefully designed to create a seamless flow between:

the alignment with the regional RRI maturity level and needs.
1. The templates and methodologies for both the Enterprise Survey and the Maturity Mapping were both designed by MARIE Exchange Manager, Athens University of Economics and Business – RC, who was also responsible for the interregional comparison and preparation of the joint reports. 2. The methodological flow of the project and the template was designed by MARIE Exchange Manager, Athens University of Economics and Business – RC, with some input used from templates provided by the programme and by previous, successful projects (Interreg Europe Action Plan Template / COGITA Interreg IVC project Road Map Template).
