Why is EU Sustainable Development Research Important?
Sustainable DevelopmentEU Constitutional and Political Objective
SD one of the primary aims of the European Constitution
SD subsumed in the Lisbon Strategy
Why is EU Sustainable Development Research Important?
Common EU objectives regarding SD Similar situation related to SD in EU member/new member/candidate countries Common challenges related to SD facing EU member/candidate countries Common EU-wide environmental/SD legislation, regulations requiring action by
member statesEU supported and coordinated SD research can give maximum added
value to SD implementation
Research = Knowledge
Baltic States and
Sustainable Development Baltic States slow to recognize the implications of 21st century industrial, technological and consumer society on the environment and human health both locally and globally
?SD? Environmental Protection = Nature Protection Committment to SD expressed in national and local
policy documents Implementation of SD lacking Minimal national funding for SD research in Baltic
States
Sustainable Development:
From Research to Practice
Implementation of Sustainable Development requires the generation/acquisition of knowledge, skills, experience
SD Research/InnovationDemonstration
DisseminationTrainingSD Implementation/Practice
Strengthening National Capacity for Sustainable Development
SD must be implemented within the local political and cultural context
SD “solutions” developed in one place cannot be directly transferred elsewhere
Local/national capacity for SD must be strengthened both for SD content and SD implementation process
Strengthening National Capacity for Sustainable Development
Important that SD knowledge and skills should be acquired locally by those working
in knowledge generation and transfer- researchers and educators
TOGETHER WITH
target audiences/users of knowledge - local/national government institutions- manufacturing enterprises etc.
Strengthening National Capacity for Sustainable Development
EU funded SD research an opportunity for Baltic States researchers to generate/acquire SD knowledge in cooperation with researchers/end users throughout EU and beyond
Participation rate of Baltic States researchers in EU SD research is one measure of capacity building towards SD

CONCLUSIONS
Active participation and good success rates of Baltic States researchers in EU 5th and 6th FP SD research are positive signals of existing capacity and capacity building for sustainable development in the Baltic States
Participation of Baltic States researchers in EU SD research supports implementation of SD in the EU
