PA 1 Indicative actions
A. Establishment of transnational innovation
networks in order to visualise identify
relevant sectors of common interest, map
existing research and innovation resources,
and secure coordination with the EUSAIR,
regional and national RIS3 strategies,
innovation governance initiatives and
competence networks
B. Development of transnational “quadruple
helix” clusters in common interest fields
addressing all stages of the innovation cycle,
including idea generation, conception and
prototyping, transfer, patenting,
commercialization, etc.
A.1 Analysis of the framework conditions for
innovation in order to define the “feasible domain”
for innovation in the ADRION area
B.1 Development of transnational models for the
design, testing, up-scaling, comparison and
evaluation of innovations (policies, tools,
processes, actors, organisations and interfaces)
A.2 Development of framework structures
related to legal, intellectual property, technical
and financial issues and provision of related
services especially for SMEs (including start-ups,
spin-offs, collaborations),
B.2 Development of transnationally designed

stakeholders specially of partners from IPA
countries including education and training concepts
for the uptake and diffusion of innovation and
circular knowledge management promoting the
mobility of Researchers and PhD candidates in the
ADRION region
B.3 Development of strategies, schemes and
tools for improving creativity and innovative
approaches in the whole spectrum of the society
including education, social services health,
volunteer organisations and social enterprises
A.4 Development of platforms for knowledge
sharing (knowledge innovative communities, data
clouds) and creation of functional networks of joint
distributed research facilities
B.4 Building up transnational networks for the
transfer of knowledge among public
administration on technological solutions

To achieve the effective management of
ETC programs
2014-2020
There is a need for a strong coordination among
the
managing authorities of ETC transnational programs
geographically located within macro-regional
strategies
20
The coordination between the different ETC
Programs and the EU Strategies Governing boards
would be helpful to better target calls to a more
limited number of strategic results.
