Our new paper explores the clusters of European regions according to their role in knowledge exchange networks (Horizon 2020). In the paper, co-authored by Rodrigo Viseu Cardoso, Constance Uyttebrouck and myself, we identify five regional ‘flow profiles’ and shed light on the drivers and barriers to becoming a high-performing knowledge region from the perspective of engagement in European knowledge flows. On that basis, we highlight some key lessons for regional innovation policy. The paper is based on research conducted as part of the ESPON IRiE project.
