Abstract: Mission-oriented innovation policies, as adopted by the European Union and several member states, tie top-down prioritization of societal problems to bottom-up problem-solving capacities. A critical challenge is to create resonance between (supra)national missions and the daily reality of field-level actors located in strong or weak regions with different problems, capabilities and institutions. Possibilities for synchronising those two worlds depend on how actors perceive risk and uncertainty, and on how these reframe the salience, credibility and legitimacy of missions. We conceptualise ‘local missions’ as both embedded in and re-scoping overarching missions, and discuss possibilities to support them through EU Cohesion policy.
