RIS3 SK – Slovak Smart Specialization Strategy
Slovak national smart specialization strategy RIS3 SK was approved by the Slovak Government on 13 November 2013.
Main Goals: Deepening integration and embeddedness of key
major industries Increased contribution of research to the
economic growth Improving the quality of human resources for an
innovative Slovakia
RIS3 SK includes the following research and development priorities:
• 1. Material Research and Nanotechnology • 2. Information and Communication Technologies • 3. Biomedicine and Biotechnology
Research and Development priorities:
• 4. Industrial Technologies • 5. Sustainable Energy • 6. Environment and Agriculture
Technological priorities:
• 7. Selected areas of social sciences (with respect to the most pressing problems of the Slovak society
Societal Challenges
RIS3 SK specialization for industry
• Automotive and mechanical engineering industries
• Consumer electronics and electrical equipment
• Information and communication technologies and Services
• Production and processing of iron and steel
AREAS OF ECONOMIC SPECIALISATION:
• Automation, robotics and digital technology, • Processing and increasing the value of light
metals and their alloys, • Production and processing of plastics, • Creative industry, • Increasing the value of domestic raw
material base
PROSPECTIVE AREAS OF SPECIALISATION:
University Science Parks and Research
Centres
Current situation in Slovak Republic (2007 – 2014)
67 Centres of Excellence (support excellent fundamental research)
8 Competence Centres (relatively large clusters of academic institutions and industry)
11 University Science Parks and Research Centres (5 already implementing Bratislava, Trnava, Košice, Nitra, Žilina), with links to businesses
University Science Parks and Research Centres – main roles Strong link with RIS3 SK and H2020 priorities Development of excellent research infrastructure,
support for elite scientific teams Co-operation with & creation of clusters, networking Increase the attractiveness of Slovak R&D for
young researchers and researchers from EU Applied research - cooperation with industry and
commercialization of scientific outputs Support for start-up a spin-off companies Automotive industry
