14:00-14:20 KEYNOTE ADDRESS

MARKKU MARKKULA CHAIR OF THE CITY BOARD OF ESPOO

FIRST VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS

The keynote focused on climate change and the transformation needed to achieve climate neutrality using the COP in Madrid as a starting point. The role of regions and cities in is crucial to deliver on this and to accelerate the transformation event further. They can also lead the way by adopting even more ambitious targets.

Oftentimes the region or the city is an orchestrator of change and they have the ability to find synergies between projects and financial instruments to achieve more impact with the money spent.

There are concrete instruments such as the Knowledge Exchange Platform (KEPs) that work towards better using research and knowledge in decision making at local and regional level. The KEP was created by the Committee of the Regions and DG RTD and they are now exploring how to develop this collaboration further. Markku Markkula thanked ERRIN for the collaboration during the past years and supported the continuation of close collaboration with ERRIN also in the future.

14:20-14:25 APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA CHAIR

The agenda was approved without changes.

14:25 – 14:35 INTRODUCTION AND CONFIRMATION

NEW MANAGEMENT BOARD MEMBERS CHAIR

DISCUSSION

The Annual General Meeting was reminded of the process of the Management Board elections. Five nominations were received for the five seats available and hence the voting process was not launched. Recalling the Articles of Association, the five Management Board candidates selected via the elections process are confirmed by the autumn Annual General Meeting. The Chair presented the five candidates, who were the following:

• Olivia de Lasteyrie, Ile-de-France Europe

• Anthony van de Ven, Brainport Eindhoven

• Martina Hilger, Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (re-election)

• Madeleine Koskull, Östergötland (re-election)

• Lars Holte Nielsen, Central Denmark (re-election) The Chair thanked the two Management Board members whose mandate finished this year – Heidi Kristina Jacobsen, Stavanger Region, and Pieter de Jong, Watercampus Leeuwarden – for their excellent work and contribution to ERRIN.

CONCLUSIONS

The five selected candidates were confirmed by the Annual General Meeting.

14:35-15:00

PRESENTATION AND APPROVAL OF THE DRAFT BUDGET FOR 2020

INDEXATION OF THE MEMBERSHIP FEES

TREASURER ERRIN DIRECTOR OF PROJECTS

CHAIR

DISCUSSION

• Outturn for 2019 The difference in the projection is due to the ESPON Outreach Programme finishing and to the change in staff members.

• Budget for 2020 and investment plan for 2021, 2022, and 2023 Building on discussions with the Management Board, the ERRIN Secretariat has put together a three-year investment plan, which is designed to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the network and focus on the pursuit of strategically important project financing. Therefore, aligned with the new project development process, the three-year investment plan will provide stability to the workforce and allow ERRIN to invest time in the development of strategical projects for both the network and its members. ERRIN has sufficient reserves to ensure sustainability of this investment plan. It is estimated that ERRIN will breakeven within three years. The Investment Plan is available in the PPT.

• Indexation of membership fees Referring to the Articles of Association art. 6.3 membership fees should be indexed according to inflation, however due to an error this has not been done since 2012 which has resulted in an income gap of around €80,000. The Management Board has asked the Secretariat to propose a model for adjusting the membership fees to address this gap. This proposal will be presented at the spring Annual General Meeting in 2020. Members are invited to provide input to the Secretariat on the model.

CONCLUSIONS

The draft budget for 2020 was approved without changes.

• Highlights from 2019 Referring to the strategic workstreams for 2019, the Director highlighted a selection of event and activities. Events

o The WIREX conference where links between Horizon Europe and S3 were in focus; o The Digital Assembly where one of ERRIN’s Vice-Chairs spoke about digitalisation and Digital Innovation

Hubs; and o European Week of Regions and Cities where there was an increase compared to previous years of

events dedicated to research and innovation topics.

Partnerships and collaboration o ERRIN’s work on the Knowledge Exchange Platform, an institutional collaboration between the

Committee of the Regions and DG RTD, to create a strategic partnership with the Committee of the Regions through this initiative.

o The work to strengthen the link with universities and university associations

Horizon Europe o The drafting of the ERRIN contribution to the strategic planning process which was done with a

dedicated task force in the Policy Working Group. This was then used as a basis for the public consultations on Horizon Europe.

o R&I Days o European Week of Regions and Cities where DG RTD organised a dedicated session targeting regions in

Horizon Europe o The workshop organised with DG RTD, EURADA, and Start-up Europe Regions Network on the European

15:00-15:20 UPDATE FROM THE SECRETARIAT ERRIN DIRECTOR

ERRIN DIRECTOR OF PROJECTS

DISCUSSION

• The Secretariat team was presented, and the Annual General Meeting was informed about the division of

responsibilities together with personal thanks to all ERRIN team members for their hard work.

• The updated website was presented highlighting that it has been designed to include more information and the

possibility for members to tailor the information that they receive. The calendar now includes information on

events taking place in and outside Brussels.

• The renewed project process was presented in detail. Over the past year, the project development services

offered to members have been thoroughly analysed to identify what the existing needs are and how they best

can be addressed. As a result, the project partner search tool was refined, a new online tool to facilitate the

early stages of partnership building called the noticeboard was launched, a specific tag for project opportunities

has been added to the website to enable members to receive information related to project development, and

new ways of organising brokerage events will be trialled. The project process is available in full on the website

which also increases the transparency of how ERRIN works on projects. The Secretariat invites all members to

provide feedback on the process and tools.

o Mission on climate neutral and smart cities – the work to provide input to the Mission Board will continue and the work will be coordinated by the Smart Cities Working Group.

o Partnerships in Horizon Europe o The priorities of the new Commission, especially looking at the European Green Deal and the initiatives

linked to the priority Europe fit for the digital age Strategic workstreams for 2020

o Maximising R&I opportunities to ERRIN members in the post-2020 funding landscape o Closely follow Horizon Europe and promote the ecosystem thinking throughout the programme and

beyond o Drawing from the priorities of the new Commission (the European Green Deal and the digital

transformation) Organisational priorities

o Working Groups: structuring the work and defining responsibilities o Projects: align ERRIN’s involvement in projects with our missions o Membership: develop mechanisms to actively listen to members’ needs and develop a strategy for

attracting new members especially from the newer EU member states.

• Report from the Working Groups and the ERRIN projects Each Working Group reported on their key achievements in 2019 and gave a brief overview of what they are planning in 2020 based on the discussions had in the strategy workshops organised with all leaders in November/December. The Secretariat reported on the activities carried out in the ERRIN projects specifically underlining where members can get involved or use project results.

16:30-16:35 CLOSING REMARKS CHAIR

DISCUSSION

The Chair closed the meeting by reflecting on the transformation of ERRIN going from a start-up network to an established and mature association. The strategy development started in 2018 has further defined the activities and professionalised the way ERRIN operates. A stable association in terms of human and financial resources is key to the success of ERRIN.

Finally, the Chair thanked the Management Board, the Working Group leaders, and the members for their engagement and work.

2. When recruiting regions for proposals, ERRIN will either upload the request to the Noticeboard section of the website or send an email to a specific WG.

3. We will also disseminate all information on project opportunities through the relevant section of the ERRIN website and, if appropriate, consult members with known expertise in the field.

4. If ERRIN is unable to join a proposal, we will ask if we can share the opportunity with our members. If this is possible, we will follow steps two and three.
