Project summary
Inno4Sports places itself in the context of socio economic transformations in Europe that open up new dimensions for the capitalisation of sports ecosystems.
The potentials of Sport ecosystems have started to have been recognized at EU level as drivers for innovation and growth with a high potential for cross-sectoral spill-overs and interlinkages with various societal and economic fields.
Still, at regional levels, they remain underdeveloped, due to existing inconsistencies and an underrepresentation of the potentials created by sports innovation within RIS3 and regional development programmes.
General Objectives
- To improve the performance of research based clusters in the field of the sports, by:
- strengthening their potentials for quadruple helix cooperation;
- creating synergies with smart specialisation processes.
- To address the changes in the societal role of sports, and use it as a vehicle for economic regional growth.
