Johan Stierna European Commission, Territorial Development Unit (B3), Joint Research Centre Johan Stierna is team leader and scientific advisor on EU policy in JRC-Seville. He is specialised in R&I policy development and university policy at EU, national and regional level, currently leading the team on smart specialisation and place-based innovation for sustainability. He holds a PhD from the University of Lund, Sweden. He worked for 15 years with R&I policy development at DG Research and Innovation in Brussels, in particular on the co-design of a mission-oriented EU R&I policy and a policy for transformative innovation. 2015-2019, Dr Stierna was responsible for the Sherpa support to the RISE high-level advisory group to EU Commissioner for Science, Research and Innovation. Previous to joining the Commission, he was researcher at the University of Lund and at the Universidad Autónoma, Madrid. His research focused on entrepreneurial networks, cultural change, bilateral trade and migration between Sweden, Spain and cross-EU. Summary: On a planet threatened by the consequences of unconstrained growth, innovation can no longer be an end in itself. This realization poses challenges for innovation policy. In response, researchers at the JRC are developing a new methodology of Smart Specialisation Strategies for Sustainability (S4). The fourth “S” has a number of implications. First, it introduces a directionality to public innovation strategies at the right level of granularity. S4 is a place-based, mission-oriented policy in which resources and regulations are mobilised in a whole-of-government approach, and where local stakeholders agree on the impact of their efforts from the outset. Second, it creates conditions that enable and incentivise entrepreneurs from the private and public sectors to drive the innovation process. Public policy must ensure that the overall directionality is at the proper level of granularity and create a win-win situation for entrepreneurs. Since the policy outcomes are hard to foresee, the third and last implication of the fourth “S” is continuous policy learning and pivoting. Public bodies responsible for innovation policy and governance must become learning organisations committed to servant leadership. ------ Visit the website to know more about the SeeRRI Conference: https://conference.seerri.eu/ Download the booklet: The SeeRRI booklet: Bringing responsibility and RRI into regional planning - from theory to practice https://zenodo.org/record/5567217#.YX...
