Measuring INnovation among EURopean Subregions

ADVANCED LOCAL BALANCE OF INNOVATION(ALBI)


The ALBI model is a methodology for supporting the effort of subregional authorities to build up an agenda for innovation.

It must be conceived as a tool for advanced policy making.

There is no central point of decision, no unique coordinating institution, no simple decision making framework.


The design of the ALBI – a model of innovation


The main issues to consider for a good ALBI are:

* relevance of the indicators;

· * comparability among territories;

· novelty;

· * time and costs of implementation;

· * flexibility.


Since there are different dimensions of analysis, IN-EUR defined a model at “2 level”

Level 1: a set of comparable indicators, easy to obtain and updated frequently

Level 2: a set of more “innovative” indicators, most of them qualitative, obtained via

survey and/or direct interaction with Key informant


4 AREAS OF INVESTIGATION:

A1. Industrial system;

A2. Education and research;

A3. Infrastructure and framework conditions;

A4. Governance of innovation.


For each area of investigation, we define both types of indicators


GUIDELINES FOR ALBI - Level 1

THE AIM OF LEVEL 1 IS TO OBTAIN COMPARABLE INFORMATION , EASY TO COLLECT

Intensive use of existing dataset, mostly available from European Insitution


GUIDELINES FOR ALBI Level 2

The aim of the level 2 is to obtain more detailed information on the characteristics of the territory.

To this aim, the focus is not on standardized data, rather it is important the involvement of local stakeholders.


THE TESTING PHASE

Once the model has been defined, the testing phase becomes fundamental for giving a scientific value to the model itself.


THE TESTING PHASE The testing phase allows:

a) To compare the innovation degree of subregional territories which form the partnership;

b) To make an analysis on the weaknesses and potentialities in the field of innovation in order to stimulate local interventions


THE TESTING PHASE

THE MODEL HAS BEEN TASTED ON LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS ARTICULATED IN 4 GROUPS ACCORDING TO THE AREA OF INVESTIGATION


THE TESTING PHASE

THE MODEL HAS BEEN TASTED IN EACH REGION PARTNER ON LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS ARTICULATED IN 4 GROUPS ACCORDING TO THE AREA OF INVESTIGATION
