Blue economy context in Galicia

                                                         In 2016, Spain was the second contributor of the
                                                         EU in terms of GVA (13,3 %, EUR 23.200 million)
                                                         representing also one fifth of the blue economy

Galicia RIS3
Acknowledges that the coast area and the marine environment
are considered to be strategic for the region due to the great
ecological, cultural, social and economic footprint of the sea in
Galicia.

RRI in the Regional sphere
✓ In MARIE, partners from 8 regions face these challenges together in
  the context of their Smart Specialisation priority Sectors. Their
  objective is to improve regional public policy that supports delivery of
  RRI to enterprises’ product, process and service design, production
  and distribution. Changes are expected in projects funded by policy
  instruments and in policy management structures and strategic focus,
  including integration of RRI criteria and RRI as a horizontal concept.

✓ MARIE achieves this through exchanging experiences on 3 types of
  support action contained in the RRI framework: Quadruple Helix;
  Open Innovation; Information & Tools for RRI application.

✓ One of the initiatives launched in Galicia consists in a working group
  to discuss and suggest actions to fully embed RRI into the regional
  research and innovation policies and instruments, supplementing the
  RIS. CETMAR makes part of this group.

MARIE Project

• Programme: Interreg st Europe
• Duration: 5 years (1 January 2017-31st December 2021)
• 10 Partners from 8 EU regions
Objective: Improve regional public policy that supports delivery of RRI
in design, production and distribution of innovations in S3sectors.
MARIE achieves this through the following mechanisms:
✓ Exchange of experiences on 3 types of support action contained in the
   RRI framework: Quadruple Helix; Open Innovation; Information & Tools for RRI
   application.
✓ Study Visits

Creation of Regional Stakeholder
Group for RRI in the Region
In order to discuss and suggest actions to fully embed RRI into the
regional research and innovation policies and instruments,
supplementing the RIS3. CETMAR makes part of this group.
Some of the issues currently under discussion are:

     RRI Award to the most innovative
      regional initiative
     Introducing RRI Principles in
      regional funding schemes and
      initiatives (i.e. calls for proposals)
      as a compulsory element in
      innovation projects
                                                                  8

       It was set up as a public interest foundation in 2001 with
                  headquarters in Vigo (Galicia, Spain)

    We work for the improvement of the status of the marine
environment and ecosystems, for the sustainable development of
 the marine and maritime activities and for the well-being of the
              communities that depend on these.
