The Lagging Regions and BRIDGES projects presented a joint paper at the University / Industry Interactions Conference (UIIN) that took place on June 7th and 8th 2017, in Dublin.

The Lagging Regions and BRIDGES projects joint contribution examines their respective methodological approaches, findings, and results achieved to date.

The Lagging Regions and BRIDGES projects share a common starting point: less developed regions face challenges in gaining full benefits from their RIS3 and the knowledge-based solutions that underpin these strategies.

Both projects have developed approaches to examine and address the obstacles faced by less developed regions.
