INTRIDE is a 10 partners alliance (Italy, Spain, Poland and Romania) aiming at developing a structured cooperation framework between HEIs, clusters/business representatives, technological centres and enterprises. The 4 countries addressed have a manufacturing system mainly based on traditional production enterprises and mainly SMEs. Furthermore the partners from the 4 regions, both HEIs/technical experts and clusters/business representatives are actively involved in the definition of their regional Smart Specialisation Strategies. Starting from the analysis of 2014 S3 and recent updates (revision of S3 roadmaps 2017-2018) it appears clearly that: 1. digitisation of SMEs and the application of Key Enabling Technologies2. SMEs integration to Industry/Enterprise 4.0 paradigm3. business model reorganisation and circular economy These are the main roadmaps’ topics. SMEs, especially those belonging to traditional manufacturing systems, need to acquire specific sets of competences (internally or externally) in order to activate innovation and technological transfer processes underpinning S3 roadmaps.Mentioned competences are related to: - digital skills- green skills- soft skillswhich will be implemented on a design knowledge based profile being naturally able to creatively manage innovation processes.INTRIDE aims at developing new innovative and multidisciplinary approaches and tackling future skills mismatches In terms of specific results INTRIDE aims at: - developing a Joint Master Degree Curriculum for Smart Designers with added competences related to Soft, Digital, Green Skills that will become the future innovation triggers for SMEs in the manufacturing sector- building a co-creation structure under a HE-industry community platform which is supposed to be a virtual place for activation and moitoring of innovation, technological transfer, R&D processes under the cooperation between enterprises, HEIs and technical centres.
