ESPON seminar in Luxembourg
17-18 May 2005
The sixth ESPON seminar organized under the Luxembourg EU Presidency on 17-18 May 2005 intended to continue the consolidation process of the ESPON programme, as a European networking activity bringing new knowledge on territorial trends and policy impacts, territorial imbalances and potentials.
It contributed to support this process by providing an opportunity
- to foster dialogue and exchange of experiences on new final ESPON Reports and Interim Reports (delivered by December 2004 and March 2005).
- to support the ongoing development of cross-analytical results, based on the use of the thematic and policy impact analyses implemented up to now by the transnational project groups
- to ensure the highest possible quality of upcoming final results as well as transfer and continuity of the scientific progress achieved, compiled in the ESPON scientific platform by the coordinating projects.
Considering the positive experience of the previous seminars, the discussion has been organised through extensive use of workshops. It was attended by more than 130 scientists, consultants, policy makers from all over Europe, as well as representatives from other Interreg programmes.
