2. Workpackage 6 Social and Territorial Cohesion
Commitments 24/25: Maximizing Social and Territorial Cohesion Commitment 26 European Social Innovation Pilot Commitment 27 Public Sector Innovation Scorebord//Research programme on Public Sector and Social Innovation Commitment 28 Consult social partners on interaction between the knowledge economy and the labour market

3. WP 6 Commitments 24/25: Maximizing Social and Territorial Cohesion
Mapping the institutional system of EU support for R&D&I through the European Regional Development Fund and European Social Fund (Part 1)
Structural Funds resources for R&D&I over three Multi-annual Financial Frameworks (MFF) ; ; ; What has changed and what has remained of the respective institutional systems?
Variation by Member States (MS):
- What explains the differences across MS in propensity to spend EU resources on R&D&I?
- EU support for R&D&I in MS at the technology frontier vs. MS behind the technology frontier – any justified difference?

4. WP 6 Commitments 24/25: Maximizing Social and Territorial Cohesion
Mapping the institutional system of EU support for R&D&I through the European Regional Development Fund and European Social Fund (Part 2)
EU budgetary support for R&D&I apart from the Structural Funds:
- From the ‘Competitiveness for Growth and Employment’ chapter of the MFF
- The new European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) – the € 315 billion ‘Juncker initiative’

5. WP 6 Commitments 24/25: Maximizing Social and Territorial Cohesion
Territorial cohesion and innovation (1)
Understanding territorial patterns of innovation
Regional pattern of innovation/propensity to innovate might depend on the regions’ characteristics (e.g. degree of urbanisation, sectoral structure, skill endowments)
Analysis of regional innovation patterns and the role of regional characteristics
Cohesion in innovation
Analysis of the convergence/cohesion in innovation across regions (for all regions, as well as within specific groups of regions – groups defined via the regions’ characteristics)

6. WP 6 Commitments 24/25: Maximizing Social and Territorial Cohesion
Territorial cohesion and innovation (2)
The effects of ERDF expenditures on cohesion in innovation
Relation of cohesion in innovation and economic cohesion.
Data: NUTS-2 for
Innovation/knowledge output and input indicators: e.g. R&D expenditures, employment, patents, employment by skills/occupation etc.
Data on ERDF and CF expenditures on innovation for ( currently being collected)
Supplemental regional data

7. Commitment 26 European Social Innovation Pilot
To be clarified

8. Defining the problems and addressing potential impact channels
Workpackage 6 committment 27 Public Sector Innovation Scoreboard//Research Programme on Public Sector and Social Innovation
Defining the problems and addressing potential impact channels
Primary impact channels:
NEED FOR LEARNING: Naming and shaming, public pressure as a driver for reforms
EASIER LEARNING: Benchmarking, identification of best practices and what should be avoided
Secondary impact channels:
Effective, cheaper state
Better business environment
Better quality services for citizens

9. Workpackage 6 committment 27 Immediate actions
Literature review
defining the problems
identification of impact channels
Assessment of the state of implementation
assessment of the progress made
confirmation of impact channels
Direct impact analysis
defining the main outcome (theory based)
a list of relevant indicators
