Incomparisonwithoureconomicenvironment,ourregionhasgrownatthesameratethantheSpanishaverageandhigherthanEU-27andtheEuroZoneuntil2009.In2010thegrowthoftheGrossValueAddedatbasicpriceswas-0.2%,somewhatabovethanthenationalaverage(-0.4%)andbelowtheEuropeanaverage(2.2%).

According to thedatapublishedbyEUROSTAT,CastillayLeónhasreduced in17.8percentagepointsthegapinGDPwiththeEuropeanUnionsincetheincorporationofSpaintotheEuropeanUnionin1986.In2000theGDPperinhabitantofCastillayLeónwasequivalentto74%oftheUE-27average.In2009theGDPperinhabitantofCastillayLeónwasequivalentto93%oftheUE-27,andfinally89%in2011(Source:EUROSTAT).

1.1 RESEARCH AND INNOVATION STRATEGY FOR SMART SPECIALISATION (RIS3) ORIGINS AND CONCEPT

Thesmart specialisationconceptarisesfromthestrategicreflectioncarriedoutbetween2006-2009byapanelofexpertssupportedbytheEuropeanCommission2,whosemissionwasstudyingthecausesofagrowinggapinR&DeffortsbetweenEuropeandtheUnitedStatesand its impactoneconomicgrowth. Inorder toreversethissituation, itwasconcludedthatEuropeanregionsneededtoidentifytechnologicalpatternsofknowledgethatarepotentiallygeneratorsoftheircompetitiveadvantagesandprioritizetheirpoliciesandresourcestowardsthosepatterns.

This reflection has had significant implications for European Union science andtechnologypolicyforthe2014-2020programmingperiod.TheEuropeanCommissionhasthereforesetsmart specialisation as a prior condition for investments in two key cohesion policy objectives for the2014-2020period:R&Dand InformationSociety3.Innovationstrategiesforsmartspecialisationconsistofintegratedeconomicandregion-widetransformationagendas,whosekeyfeaturesare:

Beginningin2014,RIS3isthecontinuationofthetwoCastillayLeónregionalgovernmentplanninginitiativesdealingwithscienceandtechnology:The 2007-2013 Castilla y León Regional R&D Strategy and the 2007-2013 Castilla y León Regional Strategy for a Digital knowledge Society.

2 Knowledge for Growth Group (K4G). 3 The 2011/0276 (COD) Regulatory proposal through which common provisions were established relating to cohesion policy funds inclu-

ded in an explicit manner. Among “ex-ante” conditions was the existence of a Regional Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) and a chapter dedicated to digital growth.

1 CONCEPT AND METHODOLOGY

• IntegrationofR&DandInformationSocietypolicies.• Concentrationonpriorities,challenges,anddevelopmentneedsbasedon

knowledge,therebystimulatingprivateinvestment.• Participatoryprocess tobuildasharedvisionamongcompanies,citizens,

universities,researchcentersandGovernment.• Futurevisionthatmakesuseofstrenghts,competitiveadvantagesandpotential

forexcellence,allwithanoutwardperspective.• Basedonobjectivedataandincludingsolidsupervisionandevaluationsystems.

1.2 METHODOLOGY

Theelaborationof theCastillayLeónRIS3has followed thesix-stepmethodologypublishedbytheEuropeanCommission’sSmartSpecialisationPlatform4, inaprocesscarriedoutbetweenSeptember2012andJanuary2014.

Thefirst step hasconsistedofananalysisoftheregionalinnovativepotentialofCastillayLeón.

RESEARCH AND INNOVATION STRATEGY FOR SMART SPECIALISATION(RIS3) OF CASTILLA Y LEON 2014-2020

Thesecond stephasestablished a participatory process for RIS3 elaboration, including interviews and work groupswithparticipationofrepresentativesfromgovernment,businesses,businessassociations,universities,researchcenters,technologytransferinstrumentsandsociety ingeneralthroughtheCastillayLeónRegionalGovernmentOpenGovernmentPlatform.

The third stephasconsistedof a shared vision that includesclearfocus on regional development, which maintains consensus ofallplayerscommittedtotheRIS3process. The results of thesefirst phases have been a SWOTAnalysis (Strengths,Weaknesses,Opportunities, and Threats) fortheR&D and Information Societysituation in Castilla y León thathasbeenthebasisforestablishingRIS3programmesandobjectives,andthe identificationofCastilla y León’s Specialisation Patterns.

In the fourth step , horizontalobjectiveshavebeenidentifiedoutoftheSWOTanalysis,andthematicpriorities have been establishedfromspecialisationpatterns.

Thefifth stepconsistsinthedeploymentofobjectivesandprioritiesinactionprogrammes.Finally,thesixth stephasledtothecreationofamonitoring and evaluation system,establishmentofaRIS3participatory governance structureand theallocationofresourcesduring2014-2020.
