Benchmarking Regional Support for Enterprise and Innovation:
Towards meaningful objectives, effective interventions and robust evaluation

This Research Network aims to look at the sharing and documentation of leading practice in the targeting, implementation and evaluation of regional support for enterprise and innovation in the UK. It also looks at the regional knowledge base to enable meaningful policy objectives to be defined, the mechanisms which drive regional development - and particularly the role of enterprise and innovation - and which evaluation methods are being effectively developed and applied.
