Background:
The objective of the Lisbon Strategy, is to make the European Union “the world’s most competitive and dynamic knowledge –based economy in the world, capable of sustaining growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion”. Thus knowledge has become one of the most important factor of competitiveness of the European economy and the engine of the rapid economic and social growth. To achieve the Lisbon Strategy goals, it is very important to build strong and close relationships between various actors in the region, including Institutions of Higher Education, Research Centers, the Business Community, which was outlined in the European Commission Communication, issued in 2006 on “Delivering on the modernization agenda for universities: education, research and innovation”. One of the latest phenomena in the economy is, that despite low transaction cost of data and information, industries still tend to cluster and form industrial agglomerations. Explanations of the clusters phenomena given by Micheal Porter in his well-known “diamond of advantage” [Porter M. 1990 The Competitive Advantage of Nations, New York, The Free Press] is not enough.

We are approaching regional development from the perspective of a new kind of partnership. At first we describe some aspects of the Finnish welfare and innovation policy. Secondly, we present our methodological contributions, related to the concept of research-oriented development. Thirdly, we describe a case of user-driven event production. We analyze the case as a way to build partnerships, regional wellbeing and new business culture.

In this paper we consider and analyze the cases of infant mortality (IM) produced in Necochea (Buenos Aires, Argentina) between 2007 and 2010. It presents a retrospective study, by which it aims to put into discussion some basic assumptions about the IM, broadening the approach to epidemiological they are often the problem, and incorporating social and spatial determinants as possible causal factors. The purpose is to understand aspects of familys and households where there were cases that are not reduced to biological explanations, based on the vulnerability of the territories and populations.
We adhere to the theoretical critical epidemiology (Breilh, 2010), whose contributions are used to analyze and construct, in contexts of vulnerability, Healthy Territories (Teixeira and Costs, 2003) focused on health promotion. We seek, therefore, contribute to the “entendimiento territorial” (Bozzano and Karol, 2011), taking into account the perceptions and representations of social actors involved in the problem, generating knowledge that allows health policy outline, more efficient and linked to the locality, that will build a healthier territory.
We understand that our contribution represents a first step, but necessary, focusing on a social cognitive process leading to greater social justice, because our research aims at social transformation (Sousa Santos, 2009) will through a critical assessment of the problem (O. Wright, 2009).
At work combines qualitative and quantitative methodology, using search techniques and statistical analysis, georeferencing and observations in the territory.
They are also used semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with health workers, especially the primary care level, allowing representations and assumptions to know some of them deal with cases of infant mortality.
Undoubtedly, the work attempts to contribute to the development of Territorial Intelligence (Girardot 2000; Bozzano, 2009), providing information that we believe will be useful for planning policies and actions that lead to healthy territory with Territorial Intelligence for development.
