Common challenge faced by all PPs is a missing link between the Regional Innovation Strategies (RIS) monitoring and
real needs of smart specialisations (SmartS) of end users. There is no methodical support on national level and no
tools for benchmarking. Each region gathers data but in different structure, sometimes not having any monitoring
institution. Main objective of the projects is to fill in this gap and build a link between the RIS and end users.
This can be done by elaborating model for Regional Branch Observatories (RO), equipped with a set of monitoring and
benchmarking tools, available to all RIS stakeholders and intelligent markets actors.
