European Regions Research and Innovation Network

ERRIN was founded in 2001 as an informal network and is now an established platform based in Brussels, comprising around 120 regional stakeholder organisations from more than 20 European countries. ERRIN members are mainly regional authorities, universities, research organisations, chambers of commerce and clusters. They set the agenda and priorities of the whole network by taking an active role in the working groups or in the Board of Directors.

In 13 working groups and 2 task forces, ERRIN cooperates in a very comprehensive way with representatives* from research and innovation to develop further cooperation approaches and to promote the importance of regional innovation systems.
