The event, foreseen originally to be held in March 2020, had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

IMPROVE project has turned this 1st peer review in an online event with three short sessions that will help partners and interested stakeholders to go in-depth in the main challenges the region has identified regarding its policy instrument.

Therefore, on Session 1 we will have an introduction of the Centre-Val de Loire RIS3 and its link with the ERDF OT1. Session 2 will be focused on the implementation of the RIS3 and Thematic Objective 1 of the ERDF OP from the point of view of the main innovation intermediaries and the Managing Authority of the region.

Finally, Session 3 will be focused on the analysis of the main challenges identified and the search for alternatives and solutions among partners.
