European LIfe Science Ecosystems

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

ELISE addresses a societal challenge common to European regions: to promote better health for all. This covers the need to improve health and well-being outcomes and promote healthy and active ageing, but also to promote market growth, job creation, EU competiveness. It requires innovative approaches. Life science is a promising frontier technology, with potential to produce many healthcare applications and treatments. The Healthcare Life Science branch is a key sector for Europe. However, some constraints hinder Life Science potential. These largely concerning difficulties in market exploitation; demand for extensive human and technical resources; and bioethical constraints affecting protection of individuals’ rights and dignity. ELISE partners from 7 regions believe that the concrete application of the Ecosystem concept at regional and interregional level can help to address these constraints. An ecosystem groups business, researchers, clinicians and patients to translate discovery into clinical use for medical innovation in health service. Using interregional exchange and active stakeholder participation, ELISE partners improve regional ERDF policy instruments in this direction. 2 regions want to create an ecosystem, where it does not currently exist. 5 want to strengthen existing clusters, by turning them into ecosystems. All regions want to consider the feasibility of creating a European Ecosystem. Changes to policy instruments are detailed in 7 Regional Action Plans and are expected in terms of types and quality of projects funded, management structures and strategic focus moving towards regional and European ecosystems. ELISE leads to short, medium and long-term results. Participating regions should be able to better support the healthcare sector and the enterprises operating around it to use Life Science R&I results and to create places of work. In the long term, this should contribute to creating healthy, competitive and innovative European regions.

Achievements (EN):

In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 72 policy learning events. It has also identified 8 good practices, produced 7 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 88 people. In terms of results, the project has succeeded in improving 9 regional development policies for a total amount of funds influenced of EUR 1,599,020. 00.

Expected Results (EN):

ELISE’s overall objective is to promote innovation-driven regional competitiveness and well-being, by improving public policies that support regional and interregional Life Science Ecosystems for healthcare. ELISE helps its regions to improve policy capacity to address sectorial constraints: • market: limited technology transfer, difficulty for companies, particularly SMEs, to develop and commercialise medical innovation; funding gap in investments for risky development trajectories; complex bureaucracy blocking early adoption and diffusion; • human and technical resources: need to attract and reward a highly skilled workforce in a competitive worldwide scenario; need to train researchers, clinicians and technicians (e.g. transition from chemical to bio-production); need for extensive technological facilities; • bioethics: need to recognise, understand and manage ethical issues that affect the protection of the individual’s rights and dignity. ELISE is based on the hypothesis, emerging from ELISE partners’ experiences, that challenges can best be tackled by collaboration among Life Science innovation chain players. A Life Science Ecosystem is platform for mutually beneficial collaboration, using a quadruple helix model that groups public authorities, business, researchers, clinicians/health centres and end users. It promotes multi-disciplinary and cross sector collaboration. It can be a physical hub, supported by IT tools for further virtual cooperation. In creating Ecosystems, ELISE poses 5 sub-objectives that mirror its approach. ELISE uses interregional exchange to: • understand strengths and weaknesses of existing Ecosystems; • understand how to create and strengthen Regional Ecosystems; • analyse feasibility of creating a European Ecosystem among ELISE regions; • develop regional Action Plans to turn learning into road maps for policy improvement; • implement Action Plans with regional funding and monitor the process to ensure continued progress and improvement.

Expected Outputs (EN):

ELISE main project outputs are summarised as: • Reports and documentation from 10 ELISE Interregional Events (interregional forums, expert corners and study visits); • Reports from 7 staff exchanges designed to support Action Plan development (at least 1 per region); • 7 Regional Ecosystem groups, bringing together all the necessary actors to create and strengthen Life Science Ecosystems; • Min 6 Good Practices of successful policy instruments related to Ecosystem creation and running (at least those identified in application phase, potentially others added during project) shared and analysed for transfer to other regions as part of their Action Plans; • 7 regional Action Plans detailing improvements to selected policy instruments designed by the end of Phase 1, in close cooperation with and approved by regional stakeholders; • 7 updated regional Action Plans, following initial implementation and monitoring by the end of Phase 2; • Increased capacity in design, implementation and monitoring of policy instruments among average 60 people including partner staff and stakeholders involved in Regional Ecosystem Groups. Thanks to these outputs and the interregional activities undertaken to produce them, the expected short term results of ELISE in relation to delivery of Life Science innovation to health care are: • Improved policy instruments in 7 European regions, with relative impact as measured by identified result indicators for each region (specific indicators / amount of funds influenced); • More and better targeted funding in 7 European regions, with increase leverage effect of public funding in mobilising private funding and influencing behaviour of the innovation chain stakeholders; • New or improved models for innovation delivery thanks to cooperation among actors within regional Life Science Ecosystems in 7 European regions; • Foundations for the creation of a European Life Science Ecosystem among ELISE regions, based on interregional collaboration for staff mobility and capacity building, facility sharing and joint initiatives; • Greater awareness on the potential for regional competitiveness and well-being thanks to better policies and cooperation among European regions. The mid to long term results of ELISE will fit within the overall objective of innovation-driven regional competitiveness and well-being. Regions that improve policy instruments thanks to ELISE results should be able to: • better support the healthcare sector and the enterprises operating around it to use the results of R&I in Life Sciences to diagnose, treat, cure and manage health problems; • create places of work, both within industry (e.g. companies expanding into healthcare products and services) and R&I institutes and as part of Ecosystem governance structures; In the long term, this should contribute to the overall aim of creating healthy, competitive and innovative EU regions.
