Call for Papers | 23rd APDR workshop | 26 January 2016 | Braga

«

Smart Specialization aims an effective use of resources in space and time, based on a careful analysis of the existing capabilities of cities, regions or countries, involving multiple stakeholders in a mechanism of governance that explore mutual synergies so that countries, regions, places and persons can be competitive and sustainable in the global economy. 

The aim of this workshop is to evaluate the evolution of the application of this concept in Portugal looking not only at programs and projects but mainly in the attitude of the various stakeholders in their cities and regions.
