Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In recent years, there has been consensus regarding the EU's cohesion policy and the role of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in enhancing regional development through improved innovation performance. This paper examines the influence of the ERDF on regional innovation systems, proposing a pragmatic methodology as a starting point for impact assessment. Utilizing the European Innovation Scoreboard methodology, this research introduces a conceptual model that underscores the importance of considering multiple driving dimensions in promoting innovation. The study aims to address the gap in understanding how funding instruments, particularly within EU cohesion policy like the ERDF, impact regional innovation performance.
