The Annual Research Conference (ARC) is the European Commission’s flagship research forum that brings together leading researchers working on economic policy design at European and national levels. This year’s edition, co-organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs and by the Joint Research Centre, will take place in Brussels on 13-15 November 2023, with attendance possible in person or online. The event will take place under the theme of European Integration, Institutions and Development, welcoming a presentation of 24 selected papers, research sessions, policy labs and panel discussions.

On 15 November from 11:30-13:00, ERRIN Director Pirita Lindholm will take part as a speaker in a session on Institutions and Innovation. The panel will aim to dissect the multifaceted nature of place-based innovation and the consequences of geostrategic fragmentation, and elucidate how local factors, such as institutions, governance, and technological geographical concentration, play a pivotal role in shaping regional innovation performance. The goal is to offer actionable insights for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and investors on how to nurture innovation ecosystems.
