  2. Two closely interrelated Topics: Topic 1: Creative Cities in the Baltic Sea Region Topic 2: Innovation Activities - Cores and Peripheries in the Baltic Sea Region in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  4. Topic 1: Creative Cities Starting point: • creativity and the increasing “creative economic sector“ are decisive factors for economic success and future development perspectives of cities • enlarging creativity is also a duty for the BSR in the course of the upcoming decades • measures and activities for creativity have to be developed in order to capture crucial factors of creativity and to follow current development trends of this “production factor“ in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  5. Topic 1: Creative Cities Main purpose of the project: Improve the understanding of the micro- and macroeconomic causes and consequences of the ongoing spatial concentration of knowledge-intensive activities from a theoretical, empirical and political perspective. in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  6. Project Structure I: Development of indicators as “Creativity- Index“ II: Collection of Data and Comparison of the “Creativity-Index“ between cities in the BSR III: Case Studies for most creative cities in order to identify the factors of success IV: Workshops in cities of BSR presenting the “creativity- approach“ and discussing regional policy implications in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  7. The Creativity-Index • Technology (economic structure, private and public R&D funding, universities …) • Talent (education systems, universities, demography …) • Tolerance (migration, diversity …) in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  9. Topic 2: Innovation Activities Starting point: Important knowledge-intensive activities such as research & development, finance, or headquarter functions show an increasing tendency towards clustering in metropolitan areas. in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  10. Innovation Activities • These agglomerations tend to gain importance as “engines“ of innovation and growth. • Hence existing regional and international disparities in knowledge potentials, income and growth may widen. • Peripheral locations or even whole countries without an outstanding centre of innovativity may lose competitiveness in knowledge-intensive activities and fall back in economic strength and welfare. in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  11. Project Idea Main purpose of the project: Improve the understanding of the micro- and macroeconomic causes and consequences of the ongoing spatial concentration of knowledge-intensive activities from a theoretical, empirical and political perspective. in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  12. Project Structure I: Development of an “Innovation- activity index“ II: Collection of Data and Comparison of the “index“ between cities in the BSR III: Case Studies for most innovative cities and less innovative peripheries IV: Workshops in cities of BSR presenting the innovativity- approach and discussing regional policy implications in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen

  13. Team • Leuphana University Lüneburg • Contact: Ass. Prof. Dr. Ingrid Ott, Chair of Innovation and Growth, ott@uni-lueneburg.de • Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) • Contact: Dr. Silvia Stiller, Head of Research Programme “Hamburg and Regional Development“, and Jan Wedemeier, wedemeier@hwwi.org in "Kopf- und Fußzeile" Titel eintragen
