Research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3), conceived as a tool to improve the economic performance of regions through innovation, has played a key role in the European Union regional policy in the 2014-2020 programing period.
One of the main points of RIS3 strategies is the selection of few specialisation priorities in which regional economies have a certain competitive advantage. Regional benchmarking exercises are encouraged by the European Commission, to provide a better vision of the position of the region and detect its strengths and weaknesses.
In our work we focus our attention in Andalusia, a region in which European regional policy has a very relevant historical importance. We intend to reinforce the SWOT analysis included in the RIS3 strategy of Andalusia 2014-2020, performing a detailed comparative analysis of the region in relation to a selection of reference regions, using the benchmarking methodology proposed by the European Commission. This exercise allows us to enrich the SWOT analysis included in the Andalusian RIS3 strategy 2014-2020 and, therefore, to design new proposals for action that could have been included and to propose a cualitative methodology that could be useful in the design of RIS3 strategies in the period 2021-2027.

La Comisión Europea fomenta los análisis regionales comparativos para proporcionar una mejor visión de la posición de las regiones europeas y detectar sus fortalezas y debilidades. En nuestro trabajo pretendemos reforzar el análisis DAFO incluido en la estrategia RIS3 de Andalucía 2014-2020 utilizando la metodología propuesta por la Comisión Europea. Este ejercicio nos permite esbozar nuevas propuestas de actuación y una metodología cualitativa que puede ser útil en el diseño de las estrategias RIS3 del período 2021-2027.
