MAIN FINDINGSThe survey revealed that participants of the process appear satisfied:• more than 50 % consider their own

role positive and active;• more than 75 % consider the

participation of regional stakeholders to be good or sufficient;

• more than 35 % consider the contribution of the stakeholders to the definition of RIS3 to be very significant;

• approximately 80 % believe that RIS3 is capable of enhancing the strengths and potentials of the regional innovative system, even if many of these show some uncertainty in this regard;

• majority of respondents have no doubt that the results achieved have rewarded their efforts; i.e. that it was really worth it.

SOME PARTIAL CRITICAL ISSUES EMERGED• Choices made in the definition of RIS3

seem to reflect some positions better than others.

• The involvement of some actors, especially in civil society, has been missed, also because of the difficulties in identifying the representatives of certain categories of interests.

As regards the governance system of the RIS3, the evaluator’s analyses highlighted some critical issues to be corrected to guarantee a more fluid process, mainly related to the lack of effective unitary coordination within the Regional Administration. This is also due to the sharing of the coordination role in different services – a single manager would be preferred – and a lack of clear division of tasks. A common and shared procedure for the involvement of stakeholders in defining the RIS3 would be preferred, as well.

EVALUATION QUESTIONS• Assessment of the process conducted

and critical issues met.• Assessment of the actual participation

of stakeholders, their opinion about activities attended and their own contribution.

• Judgment on the final results of the decision-making process.

• Opinion of the participants on the results achieved.
