URED Seminar – Research and Territory
2° Seminar on the research activity of the PAU Department Laboratories
University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria
Dipartimento PAU Conference Room
Wednesday 27th of November 2019
The second Seminar on the research activity of the PAU Department Laboratories continues the series of six-monthly meetings aimed at the presentation and dissemination of research in progress or being implemented in the Laboratories of the Department.
The initiative aims at being an opportunity to spread the research activities being carried out within the Department and the academic community, also calling the external partners: Institutions, Entities, Companies, Associations, Freelancers, which through conventions, agreements and collaborations, contribute or can contribute to the performance of the planned activities with the Heads of the Laboratories and the members of the respective Scientific Councils.
The meeting also aims at pursuing new possible forms of collaboration with other research facilities of the University and with all institutional and non-institutional entities, which can make use of the services offered by the research laboratories in their multidisciplinary for a more widespread and effective cross-units cooperation, which the newly established Research Network of the University intends to promote and strengthen.
MAPS-LED Project – First Mid-Term Meeting
June 2016, Boston (MA)
The MAPS-LED First Mid Term Meeting took place in Boston at Northeastern University – Department of Economics on the 6th and 7th of June 2016. The meeting was developed in coherence with the planned activities of the MAPS-LED Research Project – Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie RISE 2014.
The event saw the participation of the European Commission represented by Ms. Desislava Kolarova Project adviser for the European Commission REA, Unit A3.
Experienced and Early Stage Researchers belonging to the International Research Network of the Project reported about the research activities conducted on the Working Package No. 1 (S3: Research and Innovation Strategy) and No. 2 (S3: Cluster Policy and Spatial Planning).
The meeting has been crucial in exchange ideas and gather new insights about the Smart Specialisation Strategies and Clusters which were the two topics analysed. Researchers introduced interesting insights about the relationship between Smart Specialisation Strategies, Cluster policy and Spatial Planning presenting the studied Cluster Policy Initiatives

MAPS-LED Project – Open Panel Discussion
MAPS-LED “Multidisciplinary Approach to Plan Smart Specialization Strategies for Local Economic Development” is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie RISE research project funded by the European Union’s HORIZON 2020 program for Research and Innovation. The project intends to examine how S3 can be implemented, with respect to the new agenda of Europe 2020, by incorporating a place-based dimension.
The main aims are:
1) to identify and examine S3 in terms of spatial, social and environmental factors;
2) to take into account local needs and opportunities driving regional policy interventions not only to emphasize “Key Enable Technologies”, but also to empower local innovation process – tacit knowledge, embedded social networks, innovative milieu.

CLUDs – Second International Workshop
San Diego State University, San Diego, CA (USA) 11-12 June 2013
Sustainable Urban Development. The role of urban rural regeneration in regional context
The Second International Workshop “Sustainable Urban Development: The role of urban rural regeneration in regional context” was part of the activities planned by the research Cluds.
The event, organized in collaboration with the San Diego State University, was held in San Diego, CA, on 11th and 12th June 2013. The workshop pursued the objective to summarize the activities carried out during the Working Package No.2 Research Cluds.
In particular, the purpose of the event were related to the successful factorsin the urban regeneration interventions in the United States and in a specific manner in the area of San Diego, with reference to two specific aspects:
- The Community-led approach “: in this case urban regeneration initiatives were analyzed with respect to their ability to generate benefits to meet the needs of local communities.
- The Urban-Rural Connection: as a means of contributing to the definition of usable tools for urban regeneration.
The workshop pursued the objective to summarize the activities carried out during the Working Package No.2 Research Cluds. The CLUDs project has introduced the concept of “milieu” to offer a different source of sustainability within urban regeneration initiatives, that is the connections with the surrounding rural areas to reinforce local economy. Among different contributions in literature about the meaning of milieu, the more suitable explanation, according to the CLUDs project, is the following: “a set of potential expressed by a particular territory that should be recognized and captured by the organization of local actors in order to be exploited as sources of local development”.
The main feature of the milieu is the capability to relate physical resources with local actors, by covering three dimensional aspects: the individual (value attitudes, life-style, actions, perceptions); the level of the district/neighborhood (locality); and the level of the network. Connected to this general meaning, some specifications arise from the new economy or new economic geography implications, especially with respect the GREMI (Groupe de Recherches Européensur les Milieux Innovateurs) model.
