The network received funding from 2016 to 2020 and supported 14 early-career researchers who undertook their doctoral training in the network. It builds on the collaboration between the universities in the European Consortium for Innovative Universities (ECIU), of which six of the participant teams are members. The universities in the ECIU share an ambition to promote innovation and to work closely with their regions. The RUNIN programme brings together scholars working on higher education, innovation and regions in order to study how the universities realise this ambition. The project aims to provide new knowledge for other universities and policy-makers on how universities can contribute to innovation in their regions. The programme includes a university and a regional development agency in each re...

The paper discusses the most significant elements of S3 related to regional development in rural areas, presenting the main challenges and opportunities for knowledge-led development with reference to both the current policy and theoretical landscapes and some relevant emerging regional experiences. In particular, we investigate how the main novelties of S3 seem able to overcome the urban bias of past innovation policies, when the rural dimension of innovation has often been neglected, affecting its co...

The argument has its foundations in the evolutionary approach of economic development and argues that the importance of the national level grows within a globalised world which is becoming increasingly complex, disorganised and, simultaneously, monotonous. Monotony can be reduced through the emergence of national diversity based on specific development paths of spatially defined regional economic systems, in which creativeness and selective capacity generate innovation and replication processes. National and regional productive systems must be organised according to a triple helix model of institutional networking. This model can be applied to the particular case of developing economies based on traditional and mature sectors. These economies can start a catching up process by becoming creative users of technology and advanced users of telematics. The theoretical framework is used to discuss the innovative capacity of the Portuguese economy and to point out some solutions to overcome barriers to innovation. q

However, this research is almost exclusively focused on technology transfer. Considering the context of the emerging knowledge-driven economy, in which institutional capacity emerges as a major competitive factor, this paper argues that there is a need to broaden the analytical framework in relation to university-industry links. This argument is based on the perception that universities can play a major role in building regional institutional capacity. The case of the University of Aveiro is explored to illustrate this additional dimension of university-industry interaction.

This hypothetical situation can be illustrated by the case of Aveiro, a densely industrialised region of Potugal, where the absence of an active regional power makes the productive fabric really dependent on the University cooperation. ...
