In 2013 the European Commission published the guide for the public administration representatives, responsible for creation of smart specialisation strategies, with instructions concerning designing, implementation and monitoring of smart specialisations. This guide covers the elements necessary for implementation (among others, ensuring active participation of the representatives of business and science in the process of defining smart specialisations, ensuring effective monitoring system), so that the Member States and regions fulfil the ex-ante conditionality for activation of funds for CT 1 – Strengthening of scientific research, technological development and innovation.
