ERRIN

The Brussels network ERRIN (European Regions Research and Innovation Network) is a platform to strengthen European regions in the field of research and innovation. It supports the generation and strategic development of regional projects using EU funding. In addition, ERRIN is working with the relevant European institutions to improve the involvement of regions in EU research and innovation policies and to promote mutual exchange. Working groups on the following topics are of particular interest to the FrankfurtRheinMain metropolitan region:

• Energy and climate change
• Transport and logistics
• ICT/digitalisation
• Smart cities and regions
• Smart specialisation

Since 2014, the European Office, in cooperation with the “Verband Rhein-Neckar”, has been one of more than 120 ERRIN members.

The European Office of the Metropolitan Region FrankfurtRheinMain is also part of the Living-in.EU initiative, which is jointly coordinated by ERRIN and the European network of major cities Eurocities. Living.in-EU brings together over 160 cities, regions, and member states to promote the “European way of digital transformation”. The objective of the initiative is to support the creation and deployment of data spaces and the responsible use of AI compliant with EU legislation in cities and regions.
