“…Nevertheless, regional bodies play an important role for informal factors in institutions such as trust, responsibility, partnerships and regional leadership (McCann & Ortega-Argilés, 2014). In addition, innovation systems are proved to have the strongest impact on NUTS-2 levels (Ruhrmann et. al., 2020).…”

Smart Specialisation is dedicated to be a key driving force for entrepreneurial discovery and innovation in the European innovation policy paradigm in line with the European Strategy 2020 and the funding period 2014-2020. At the current stage, all EU NUTS-2 regions are monitoring their individually developed Regional Innovation Strategies on Smart Specialisation (RIS3) including monitoring systems that are needed to adjust upcoming future RIS3 strategies in the new funding periods. Despite the thematic topicality, the procedure of RIS3 evaluation and monitoring lacks a sound supra-regional approach when it comes to RIS3 implementation performance governance and institutional arrangements across all European regions. In fact, the blurring of RIS3 monitoring can be traced back to the policy nature that monitoring systems are set up, implemented and evaluated on individual regional and or national basis including a set of regionally tailored regional and national indicators. With regard to the policy challenges and research gaps of developing, and, later, using a joint macro-regional systemic institutional approach towards RIS3 implementation and monitoring, this paper provides a conceptual model for RIS3 performance, evaluation and monitoring governance based on case study analysis, best practices from RIS3 research and policy stakeholders' interviews. It is intended to serve as a comprehensive and comparative governance model on regional, national and * This research was supported by the EU project "SMART_watch", part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the INTERREG Central Europe Programme 2014 -2020. The project is dedicated to foster the cooperation between the Regional Innovation Strategies on Smart Specialisation (RIS3) monitoring and the actual needs of the implementing regional stakeholders.

The institutional TH model focuses on relations of universities, industries, and governments in networks. Institutional arrangements develop over time along trajectories. The Triple-Helix metaphor of university-industry-government relations can also be elaborated into a neo-evolutionary model combining the vertical differentiation among the levels (in terms of relations, correlations, perspectives, and horizons of meaning) with the options for horizontal differentiation among the codes (e.g., markets, technologies, politics, etc., oper-ating in parallel). The neo-evolutionary model focuses on the interactions among selection mechanisms (markets, technologies, endowments) at the regime level. The historical and evolutionary dynamics feedback on each other. The relative weights of the historical versus evolutionary dynamics can be measured as a trade-off. Among three or more selection environments, synergy can be generated as redundancy on top of the aggregates of bilateral and unilateral contributions to the information flows. The number of new options available to an innovation system for realization may be as decisive for its survival more than the historical record of past performance.
