The objectives of PLIP were:
- to examine the difference and similarities of local and national innovation policies between the Nordic countries from the point of view of peripheral areas
- to study transferability of the good innovation policy practices between peripheral Nordic localities
- to transfer experiences of good practices into new contexts in other Nordic localities, and
- to test a method of action research in learning from good practices of local innovation policies
The project started in September 2005 and was finalized in September 2006.
Financial support was i.a. granted by the Nordic Innovation Centre (NICe).
