transforming the scientific results into commercial success and to enable a broader access to knowledge. Transnational cooperation can take an important role in developing common orientations, frameworks and tools (policy instruments) by bringing together key players including public institutions, RTD facilities, SMEs and technology transfer institutions and finance practical pilot activities to demonstrate and evaluate the feasibility of transnational tools and services. Overall, the main envisaged results are: Improved strategic frameworks and cooperation to build up excellent research infrastructure in the Danube region. More effective collaborative research & innovation activities and support of competent networks between enterprises, R&D centres, education and higher education and the public sector to enhance the commercial use of research results, foster technology transfer and broaden access to knowledge. Improved coordination and developed practical solutions for cluster policies and transnational cluster cooperation for innovation development in technological areas (e.g. environmental technologies and energy efficiency) and areas (service innovation, social innovation) based on smart specialisation approaches (RIS3). Improved strategic frameworks and developed practical solutions to tackle bottleneck factors that hinder the innovation in SMEs, e.g. better access to innovation finance, support for innovative start-ups, and better assistance with the management of intellectual property rights. Specific attention should be given to the cross cutting issues of general interest such as eco-innovation (e.g. in order to tackle climate change adaption and mitigation and the pressure on resources), social innovation (e.g. to meet social needs related to demographic change, ageing population) and service innovation (e.g. related to strengthening the employment and knowledge intensive cultural and creative industries) where the programme sets a priority and which can be tackled at different levels. Since the participation in cooperation initiatives is very uneven in the Danube region, especially actors and organisations from less developed regions of the Danube area need to be better integrated into cooperation processes and competent networks. 3/P1/1.1: Programme-specific result indicators (by specific objective)
