As a comprehensive agenda for economic transition, the Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation -RIS3 incorporate a dynamic monitoring mechanism with reliable indicators and statistics in order to keep it current, smart and sustainable over time.
The National Documentation Center (EKT) is the source of a set of monitoring indicators on national and regional strategies RIS3, the Operational Programme Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2014-2020 (EPAnEK) and the Regional Operational Programs.
EKT closely cooperates with the EU's Joint Research Centre for the RIS3 monitoring in Greece as well as in wider RDI topics such as, for example, the understanding and managing industrial transitions.
