NORRIS Project

Methodology of RIS
•
Standard methodology of RIS - European
Commission in the beginning of the 90s.
• RIS projects are supported within the
Framework Programs of the EÚ (at the
present 6th Framework Programme).
• NORRIS – cross-border element – two
neighbouring regions
1. Cross-border Regional Innovation Strategy
2. Cross-border pilot projects and cluster
initiatives
8
NORRIS features
• Bilateral character – Northern Hungary and Košice
region
• Communication – between Hungarian and Slovak
partners and within the frame of region
• Barrier of border, culture, language, historical
development, economical structure, centralisation,
dominant position of capital regions
• Dissemination of project results – involvement of the
key regional representatives to the process
• Individual RIS and common RIS
• Cross-border cluster ?
9
Innovation demand and supply
• Survey of institutions on the supply
side – scientific and research
institutions, financial institutions, public
institutions, advisory institutions, etc.
• Survey on the demand side – small
and medium companies with a
potential on innovation
• Identification of disharmony (gap)
• Suggestion for actions, pilot projects,
creation of RIS
10
SMEs Questionnaire Survey
Branches proposed in both regions in the way they will fulfil
interests of each region and that they will find a common line
of interests.

Rules for sample selection:
Proportion of the sector on the total employment

Priorities of the region
Assumption of innovation potential
Representativeness in relation to the company size,
territorial, etc.
Common field of interest: „environment industry“ – existing
research and development basis, demand for cooperation,
priority of both regional strategies

• SK- higher demand for innovation, but less
patents
• HU- higher expectation of financing
innovations by the state, structural funds
