On the 3rd and 4th of October, the #ISSIFRA at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in Rome hosted a workshop focused on the functioning, objectives, and perspectives of knowledge and innovation ecosystems across #EU regions. The discussions centered on the #ERAHubs concept, contributing to the broader #ERA policies and #EU innovation strategies.

The workshop aimed to bridge theory and practice, drawing on experiences from various European regions. These insights are set to enhance the tools available to policymakers for effective ecosystem governance within #EU innovation policies.
