About Us

Started in 2001 as an informal network, ERRIN is a well-established Brussels-based platform of around 120 regional stakeholder organisations from more than 20 European countries, most of whom are represented by their Brussels offices.

Our members are mainly regional authorities, universities, research organisations, chambers of commerce and clusters. They drive the agenda and the priorities of the whole network by taking an active role within the Working Groups or in the Management Board.

Through our 13 Working Groups, ERRIN works with research and innovation in a very comprehensive way, promoting triple and quadruple helix cooperation approaches and the importance of regional innovation ecosystems.

Large company dealing with stationary energy storage company or battery management for LC-BAT-08 consortium

The core technology of this research proposals other consortium members is thermal tomography and reference electrodes derived from internally networked printed sensor arrays, providing thermal and electrochemical spatial information at the cell level. Additionally, a local battery management system will be incorporated into each cell, enabling distributed control and monitoring. This project will further investigate the use of powerline communication, enabling cells to transmit and receive data through the power bus bar.

Looking into the benefits of coupled open innovation for regional innovation ecosystems via the inDemand project

The last inDemand consortium meeting before the final event of the project took place in Murcia, Spain. It was a unique opportunity to discuss the results of the two iterations of the model in the 3 pilot regions (Murcia, Oulu and Paris). As ERRIN, we presented how 10 regions are replicating the model using their own resources.
