The regional EDP process is delivered through Regional Innovation Platforms. These platforms were either linked to existing working groups or new ones were created according to the region’s specialisation domains or based on the specified horizontal priorities. As before, the platforms include representatives of self-governments (regional, municipal), innovative businesses and research organisations, and they constitute an advisory and consultative body to the management and executive unit in the area of generating proposals for new interventions based on defined needs and provide feedback.
