Process | Ris3 Andalusia  

  • Since 2014, the European Commission has been seeking an economic-territorial transformation for the regions.
  • For this reason, and in order to support European regions in their commitment to innovation and the growth of the digital society, it decided that the definition of the RIS3 is a mandatory prior condition, within the framework of Cohesion Policy, to receive funds in the 2014-2020 period.
  • RIS3 Andalusia responds to this unavoidable call, and we are moving forward following the first steps that will allow Andalusia to comply with the requirements of the European Commission.
  • On December 18, 2012, the Andalusian Governing Council agreed to start working on the draft of the Andalusian Innovation Strategy, RIS3Andalucía 2020, which was finally approved by Agreement of February 15, 2015.
