These are the Guidelines for territorial mapping, drafted and used by CHERRIES (Deliverable D2.1) for framing the scene of the three territorial ecosystems of Örebro (Sweden), Murcia (Spain), and Cyprus (2020). Mapping policies (on innovation and research, on healthcare, on Smart Specialisation Strategies, etc) and stakeholders are of vital interest for the preparation of the three pilots. The purpose of the document is to guide territorial partners through the territorial mapping exercise in a straightforward manner. The three main sections addressed in the guidelines, namely Stakeholders’ identification and prioritisation, Gathering and screening policy instruments and strategies, and Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation Framework, are indeed conceptually and in practical terms connected. The document describes steps by step the implementation of this complex mapping exercise. The methodology used a mixed-method ranging from desk research, expert interviews to bibliometrics indicators and networks.
