17 June: Hit or Miss
 

17 June - Hit or Miss: Fostering dynamic ecosystems – Neth-ER & MBO Raad & VH & UASNL event

On the 17th of June “Hit or Miss” is the first organized event of the series. In this event we explore innovation ecosystems through the lens of vocational education providers and universities of applied sciences, with emphasis on the way that regional innovation strategies, national funding instruments and European policies interact. Following the title ‘hit or miss’, we examine what works through best practices, and which further support is needed to foster dynamic ecosystems and better connect innovation initiatives around Europe.
