Thanks to their generosity, we were able to gather an in-depth insight into Lower Austrian innovation institutions and networks despite difficult conditions and online interviews because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Authors Sybille Reichert, Reichert Consulting: Policy and Strategy Development for Higher Education John Edwards, Joint Research Centre, European Commission (until August 2020), CICS.NOVA and Policy Experimentation and Evaluation Platform (from October 2020) 4 Executive Summary Lower Austria as a unique case Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can be key players in regional innovation ecosystems and for the design and implementation of Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3). However, regions in Europe are diverse, in terms of their economic and institutional structures, higher education systems, and competences and capabilities for S3 management. The project on Higher Education for Smart Specialisation (HESS) has included several case studies where historic and internationally renowned universities have not played a significant role in S3. This can be explained by a variety of factors, from weak strategies and regional institutions, problems with multi- level governance, to a lack of local engagement by the universities concerned. On the other hand, this case study of Lower Austria shows that even in a region with a small higher education sector, an absence of traditional research-intensive universities and an economy in transition from agriculture, that HEIs both within and outside the region can be important partners for S3 managers. The HESS project and action research The HESS project is managed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre on the initiative of the Directorate General for Education, Youth, Culture and Sport. Since 2016 a series of case studies have aimed to find out how HEIs are involved in smart specialisation and how stronger partnerships can be built with regional authorities. One of the features of the HESS case studies is that they are designed and carried out closely with the regional authority, HEIs and other innovation actors. This is because the one of the objectives of the HESS project is to help build stronger regional partnerships. In the case of Lower Austria, unfortunately the action research was handicapped to a large extent by the Covid pandemic, which broke out shortly after work had begun. Nevertheless, a wide range of innovation actors, regional and national policy makers were interviewed, and online methods were used as far as possible. Economic development and higher education in Lower Austria Lower Austria is a region defined by its proximity to Vienna, the country’s capital city with high levels of research and innovation, and many leading HEIs. However, compared to

Over the centuries the castle has been expanded and been given various new purposes. Emperor Friedrich III. had the castle fundamentally rebuilt, largely giving it its current appearance. Emperor Maximilian I was born and baptized in the castle in Wiener Neustadt and spent his youth here. From here the Holy Roman Empire was expanded. The empire grew so large that “the sun never set“.
