  21. RIS3KEY Questions Answered • Existing or potential world-class competencies: • Only secondary assessments by OECD – two MASA research groups. • Specific scientific strengths and research specializations: • Energy/Environment, ICT and Materials. • Emerging scientific competences: • Environmental Sciences & Ecology, Education & Educational Research, Genetics & Heredity, Business & Economics. • Leading Institutions: • Ss Cyril and Methodius Univ in Skopje: Leader in publications in all disciplines, leader in EU funded research projects. • Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts 2nd TWS on RIS3 - Skopje

  22. RIS3KEY Questions Answered • Contribution of leading institutions in innovation policy development: • Evidence of a participatory process at the consultation level in the development of the new Innovation Strategy 2012-20 and the National Strategy for Scientific R&D Activities up to 2020 • Alignment with EU R&D Priorities • National research strategy is aligned to Horizon2020; overall strategic orientation is consistent with a vision for improving integration into ERA. • Research Infrastructures / Creativity Hotspots • Decaying national research infrastructures due to declining funding • Some pilot intermediary organisations established by donors’ funds did not manage to survive by themselves. 2nd TWS on RIS3 - Skopje

  23. RIS3KEY Questions Answered • Fitness to address global societal challenges: • Limited in terms of critical mass and linkages to world-class research institutions; Skopje has potentials for interdisciplinary research-most of the country’s research potential is situated there. • Attractiveness to researchers / working conditions: • Very limited, mainly due to remuneration and recognition of degrees earned abroad. No vacancies in the enterprise sector. • Fit of curricula to the needs of the regional economy: • ‘The formal education system struggles for market relevance’ (USAID) • Graduates lack soft skills (work ethics, communication) (WB) 2nd TWS on RIS3 - Skopje
