Methodological manual: developing thematic interregional partnerships for smart specialisation : a practical guide to building and managing interregional smart specialisation partnerships

Since 2015 the European Commission has been working hard with interregional thematic S3 partnerships supporting them to figure out how to go about teaming up and developing joint efforts in the best way. By preparing this manual, the European Commission is not only able to document the overall methodological journey taken by the thematic partnerships, but also the many good practices observed during the past few years. This manual refers to to the experience gained in the context of the thematic S3 platforms.
