La Unidad de Relaciones Internacionales e Interinstitucionales, URII, pone en conocimiento de la comunidad uniquindiana el evento al cual nos invita la Asociación Columbus, denominado “Smart Specialisation Strategies for Sustainability in Latin America”, que se llevará a cabo el día 9 de diciembre de 2020 a las 16.00 CET, organizado por el Joint Research Centre de la UE y que contará con la presencia de Diana Alejandra González, jefe de Cooperación Internacional y Visibilidad de la Universidad de la Sabana y coordinadora del proyecto Erasmus+ I2LATAM.
A continuación los objetivos del evento en inglés:
· To present the potential of Smart Specialisation to foster localised, innovation-driven sustainable territorial development, as an important milestone in the new Innovation pillar of the EU-CELAC Common Research Area (CRA).
· To officially launch the project S4LatinAmerica as a joint action of two services of the European Commission: DG DEVCO and the Joint Research Centre (JRC). The event will allow to share detail of activities and expected outcomes, notably those addressing: (i) mapping of innovation potential, (ii) Entrepreneurial Discovery Processes, (iii) identification of pilot projects and (iv) role of sustainable dimension in place-based innovation approaches.
· Review progress of the Smart Specialisation uptake in Latin America through results achieved by previous projects. Implicitly, the event will contribute to situate the S4LatinAmerica project as strategic action within the “Development in Transition” initiative led by the European Commission in collaboration with strategic partners such as OECD, CEPAL, SEGIB, etc.
