- This work concerns the capacity for innovation through local and regional governance. It stems from the FP7 THESEUS project that won the EU Horizon Impact Award (as the SMART-COASTS proposal) for its multidisciplinary research into flood adaptation and mitigation. The work is important because it analyses the mechanisms through which different European communities make use of and encourage innovation in their risk analysis policies and implementations. In this instance, the focus is on novel approaches to mitigating the impacts of flooding are taken up or decided upon. This speaks to the fundamental utility of new knowledge when presented to society.
