The now much-emphasized term such as knowledge economy or Society 4.0 has its substantive parallel in the theory of learning regions, which seeks to explain the role of knowledge, learning, innovation, collaboration or technology in the economic performance of a given territory. Being able to determine and measure these factors, behaviours and processes ex post gives us the opportunity to test the validity of the concept or theory of learning regions in practice. The aim of the present paper is to identify relevant, practically applicable indicators referring to the theory of learning regions for the NUTS3 regional level and the Czech Republic. The paper is conceived purely theoretically for the purpose of creating a scheme of input indicators determining learning regions and is reflected in a combination of sources based on a search of scientific sources and the actual availability of data of these indicators for NUTS3 regions in the Czech Republic.

Keywords: Czech Republic, indicator, knowledge economy, NUTS3 region, theory of learning regions.
