In order to lay thorough grounds for the development of transnational policy guidelines related to an enhanced
science and business cooperation in the macro-region, this BSR Policy Briefing elaborates on the particularities
of national innovation and smart specialisation frameworks, as well as explains how the participation of a
number of CBSS Member States in the Baltic TRAM project helps to advance nationally and regionally-set
milestones. Thereby, this publication serves as a concise guide for anyone interested in finding out the existing
smart specialisation and innovation governance frameworks and their supporting implementation structures
in a number of BSR countries. Likewise, this overview summarises the common thematic strands of research,
innovation and smart specialisation priorities defined on the national and regional level across the BSR.
