Τhe Institute for Bio-economy and Agri-technology (iBO) of CERTH, in the framework of the implementation of the EU-funded INTERREG EUROPE “BRIDGES” project, has contributed to the completion of the Interregional Policy Learning, by collecting and assessing Good Practices in Theme 2: Research to Business Innovation Partnerships, and by performing 2^nd readings to the Innovation Map of each participating region.

BRIDGES project has completed the planned good practice (GP) collection in September 2017. Thirty-one good practices have been selected, out of thirty-four contributions made in total. The GP discussions have been ongoing since January 2017 through e-mails, online meetings, and face –to-face meetings (4th IPL in Helsinki, June 7th and 8th 2017).

The BRIDGES project good practices are planned to address three themes: Industry-led centres of competence as RIS3 innovation infrastructures (GP theme 1), Research-to-business innovation partnerships (GP theme 2) and Multilevel synergies (GP theme 3) including combination of funds and interregional innovation partnerships and joint initiatives.
