What can it be used for?

For promoting a new economic transformation model for the areas in which the Region of Murcia can be most competitive. With this in mind, the following sectors have been selected:

• The food and agriculture sector in its water/environment and logistics/transport facets.
• Drivers: energy, maritime and marine activities.
• Quality of life: tourism, health and habitat.

How does it work?

Specialisation: improved capabilities in the regional science-technology-business system, focusing on strategic areas of opportunity by encouraging creation, knowledge transfer and training in human resources.

Internationalisation: it seeks an open economy where people, knowledge, products and services flow on a global scale, incrementing both competition and new opportunities.

Hybridisation: it promotes cooperative and interdisciplinary R&D&I across all public and private agents in the system, fostering the creation of and participation in networks, thus driving a culture of innovation.

How was it set up?

• Two key documents were used as a reference for designing and creating RIS3Mur: ‘The RiS3 Key for self-assessment’ and the ‘RIS3 implementation guide’ issued by the European Union.
• It has six differentiating stages:
  1. Creation of a participative management structure.
  2. Analysis of the regional context and its potential for innovation.
  3. Creation of a shared vision of the future of the region.
  4. Selection of a limited number of priorities for regional development.
  5. Creation of an action plan: policy mix.
  6. Implementation of monitoring and assessment mechanisms.

How does it work?

Through three committees (Steering Committee, Executive Committee and Technical Committee) as well as a work group and a Technical Secretariat.
