Published on: Jul 6, 2017 • 6:39 PM Author: Ministry of Science
Representatives of the Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Economy met on 5 July 2017 in Belgrade with the representatives of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), discussing the development of the Smart Specialisation Strategy – S3.
The meeting was organised in the framework of the seminar for the group of countries (Serbia, Moldova, Ukraine), which also began work on the Strategy, providing the representatives of the ministries with the opportunity to get acquainted with the process of mapping the economic, scientific and innovation potential in these countries.
The Director General of the Directorate for Scientific Research Activities, Dr. Darko Petrušić, presented the steps undertaken by Montenegro to draft the document, pointing out that its development was one of the priorities of the Ministry of Science.
Representatives of the Joint Research Centre have provided useful guidelines for continuing the work on the document and have announced their visit to Montenegro in the autumn of this year with a view to participate in an event that would familiarise our scientific community and entrepreneurs with the goals of the Smart Specialisation Strategy. In addition, one of the steps to be taken in the near future is the registration of our country on the Smart Specialisation Platform (S3 Platform), which provides information, scientific and professional advice to decision-makers for the establishment and implementation of their smart specialisation strategies. Today, 18 EU Countries and 2 Non-EU Countries and 179 Regions (EU + Non-EU) are members of the S3 Platform.
Representatives of the JRC have emphasised that smart specialisation requires a good vision of country development, as well as the identification of the areas with the greatest strategic potential, development of a management system based on the participation of several actors and setting strategic priorities. At the same time, a smart specialisation strategy should enable the development of new sectoral areas or industries through investment in research and development in areas that contain strategic potential in each of the European regions / countries
