The BRIDGES project was selected and contributed to the Virtual 18th Triple Helix Conference held on 15.-17.6.2020 addressing Future of Innovation and Innovation for Future. The virtual conference was hosted by the University of Tampere, in Finland.

The BRIDGES contribution was made in the Parallel Sections, Track 3 Innovation in transnational contexts, and focused on Transregional access to innovation on demand. It discussed the BRIDGES project experience, results and lessons learnt from the effort of effectively addressing mismatches of the knowledge and economic bases of the partner regions and thus rendering the RIS3 implementation more visible on the ground.
