Prüfungsstoff
Contributions by students will be assessed in terms of critical reflection and application of lessons learned according to scientific standards. These lessons learned include conceptual approaches on innovation policy, academic and policy-oriented writing, and problem-centered analysis. The lecturer will be available to answer students’ methodological questions.

The course introduces selected approaches to regional innovation policies and puts a particular focus on their integration with multi-scalar policy mixes. The smart specialization approach was introduced to EU cohesion policy in 2014 but has generated mixed results (Hassink & Gong, 2019; Benner, 2022). The smart specialization approach continues to guide the implementation of cohesion policy but is currently refocused towards challenge orientation and sustainability (McCann & Soete, 2020). However, doing so will need more alignment with other components of the innovation policy mix beyond the regional level.
The new “partnerships for regional innovation” (PRI) approach (Pontikakis et al., 2021) addresses this alignment and offers a toolbox for regional policymakers to combine place-based policies with challenge orientation and is currently piloted in a large number of European regions. By proposing an “open discovery process” and integrating systemic policy tools such as green public procurement or regulatory sandboxes, the approach goes beyond the confined of traditional regional innovation policies and reflects questions of how to identify and measure challenges and how to respond to them.
As challenge-oriented innovation policies are embedded into wider policy mixes on different spatial scales, these policy mixes and methodologies to design and implement them will be introduced and discussed along the new “PRI playbook” (Pontikakis et al., 2021).
Students will analyze real-world examples related to the implementation of these policy mixes and present them in class. Towards the end of the course, small groups of students will develop their own innovation policy mix for a case-study region.
