What is it about?
This is about Triple-Helix-kind of regional development where university, public sector and businesses are to develop together and in interaction. This model is constructed for bigger regions with a university in the center. There are many regions that do not have these conditions, and must find their own way in the knowledge society. In the Interreg IVC project UNICREDS, 15 partners in 8 regions in 7 countries exchanged experiences and developed theory.

Why is it important?
The knowledge society and smart specialisation etc cannot be only for idealised regions, where there is a strong unversity, a strong business sector and concious and forward-looking public sector. There must be place for adjusted and innovative solutions for less favoured regions. This paper was written by involved researchers after the project, as were 2 prinjted conference papers and one project rteport. It contains new adjusted Quadruple-Helix theory and 5 cases of applications, and some recommendations for policy.
