Mobilising regions for growth and jobs : regions of knowledge and research potential.

Flag for EU Publications Office of the European Union on October 17th 2014
Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (European Commission)
Between 2007 and 2013, some 235 projects strengthened research and innovation excellence and potential in Europe’s regions, and forged synergies between regional research and innovation policies. The Seventh Framework Programme’s Research Potential programme supported 169 projects with €340 million, while the Regions of Knowledge programme backed a further 66 projects with €126 million. Horizon 2020 – the successor to the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) – has been up and running since the end of 2013, marking the end to both programmes. Their objectives have been transferred to the EU’s Cohesion Policy. Benefiting from the distance of time, now is a fitting moment to look back at the Research Potential and Regions of Knowledge programmes, to identify some key findings, and to draw lessons for the future.
