Shared Strategic Research Agenda

A long-term joint research agenda for the twining organisations, aligned with the activities in WP4 and with WP3, with special focus on the monitoring and planning of sustainable transitions at sub-national territorial levels in WB. Building on Nordregio´s own research strategy, the agenda encompasses: 1) prioritization of sustainability challenges faced by different regions and industrial systems in WB (in cooperation with WP 4); 2) evaluation of internal research expertise and identification of key research stakeholders in the region; 3) selection of priority research themes and future research directions in the frame of green transitions; 4) proposal of cross-cutting joint research programmes, and; 5) identification of financing programmes (aligned with Task 2.2). The work is conducted by all partners, and coordinated by the Project Coordinator. Guidance and supervision in preparing it are assured through the organisation of 5 thematic workshops, held remotely, co-organised by Nordregio and Co-PLAN, focusing on all 5 components above.
