Dear Sir or Madam, As part of the European Investment Bank (EIB)-supported assessment of Latvia's smart specialisation strategy, we would highly appreciate the opportunity to interview a representative of your institution involved in smart specialisation, innovation policy or related strategic planning activities. The interview is expected to last approximately 45-60 minutes and will be conducted online. The purpose of the interview is to better understand current and future policy directions, validate our preliminary assessment of smart specialisation priorities across the Baltic States, and identify opportunities for stronger Baltic cooperation in research and innovation. In particular, we would welcome perspectives on the following topics: • The current and future development of smart specialisation priorities in the Baltic States; • Opportunities for closer alignment of smart specialisation sector definitions across Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia; • Areas with the greatest potential for Baltic-scale cooperation; • Opportunities for joint flagship projects and participation in cross-border innovation consortia; • Possible governance and implementation approaches to strengthen Baltic cooperation in research and innovation. We would therefore be grateful if you could nominate an appropriate representative from your institution and indicate their availability for an interview in the coming weeks. For context, the interview forms part of a broader effort to explore opportunities for closer alignment of smart specialisation priorities across the Baltic States. The objective is to identify thematic areas with strong potential for cross-border cooperation, the development of joint innovation ecosystems and flagship projects involving Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian stakeholders. As a starting point, we have reviewed the smart specialisation priorities currently applied in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and mapped corresponding thematic areas to identify common domains that could serve as a basis for enhanced Baltic cooperation. The preliminary mapping is presented below. Current RIS3 priority areas in Latvia Corresponding thematic priority fields in Lithuania Corresponding thematic priority fields in Estonia ICT ICT Digital solutions Biomedicine, medical technologies, biopharmacy and biotechnology Health technologies and biotechnologies Health technologies and services Photonics, smart materials, technologies and engineering systems New production processes, materials and technologies Valorisation of local resources Knowledge-intensive bioeconomy Safe food Valorisation of local resources Smart energy Energy efficiency and smart energy solutions Smart and sustainable energy solutions Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
