The Launch of Smart Specialisation (S3) Observatory

Launched as part of the Smart Specialisation Platform, the S3 CoP Observatory is a collaborative initiative involving DG REGIO G1, DG REGIO country desks, and the S3CoP Secretariat. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as Generative AI and entity extraction, the project team extracted and classified Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) priorities from regions’ and member states’ documents. The AI tools facilitated exercises like categorising strategies and priorities across different taxonomies, identifying keywords, and classifying priorities.

The Observatory invites regional/national institutions or bodies responsible for managing smart specialisation strategies to engage with them for rectifying or integrating information by contacting contact@s3-cop.eu.
