            New ESPON Scenarios Reports (697 Kb)
            Thinking towards the future is an essential precondition for investigating where policies are necessary and how they should be shaped. Development has its own momentum, but policies can make a difference. The future can create different conditions for the citizens in different parts of Europe, for economic development and competitiveness and for cohesion within the European territory, its regions and cities
            In order to support a debate at European level and the involvement of regions, cities and larger territories, ESPON has carried through the applied research project 3.2 with the aim of presenting contrasting spatial scenarios for the European territory.

                    The re-launched growth and jobs strategy is the flagship policy of the Barroso Commission – and it is working. The reform process is bearing fruit. The current economic upturn now provides a unique window of opportunity to quicken the pace of reform. It is an opportunity that must not be missed. Those are the main messages of the Commission’s key annual report on the progress of economic reform across Europe, published today. The report invites the Council to formally adopt country specific recommendations designed to guide the reform efforts of Member States. It will be submitted to the Spring European Council in March 2007.

                        EUA Conference 2006: "European Universities as Catalysts in Promoting Regional Innovation"
The general objective of the Brno Conference was to provide a “showcase” of university good practices in working at the regional level. In addition, EUA viewed the Brno Conference as an important initiative in bringing the voice and experience of the universities into the debate on the future development of regional policy, particularly given the new emphasis being placed on science and technology investment. The conference was hosted by the six universities based in Brno because this was an excellent example of a European region where strategic cooperation between universities, regional authorities and business enterprises in research and innovation was being developed productively
