  1. ESPON 2013 Programme Internal Seminar 29-30 November 2011, Kraków Transnational Networking Activities Workshops Session 2 Nordic-Baltic Dialogues on Transnational Perspectives in Spatial Planning (NORBA)

  2. Approach • Piloting transnational networking of ECPs at a macro-regional level • Context • “…mature transnational cooperative milieu in the BSR” • Strategy • “ …facilitate dialogue and coalescence between institutional stakeholder interests and ESPON findings” • ESPON contribution to evidence-based/evidence-informed policy • Discussion forums

  3. Partners • Lead Partner: ECP Finland • Karelian Institute, University of Eastern Finland • Heikki Eskelinen, Timo Hirvonen • Partners: • ECP Estonia (University of Tartu) • Antti Roose • ECP Iceland (University of Akureyri) • Grétar Þór Eyþórsson • ECP Latvia (State Development Agency, Riga) • Girts Lejins • ECP Norway (Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research, NIBR) • Olaf Foss • ECP Sweden (Royal Institute of Technology) • Mats Johansson, Simon Falck • 2010-2012

  5. Experiences • ” Europeanization” of territorial development policy a complex process in individual countries • Macro-regional level relevant in dissemination (due to existing co-operative links and cross-loading of concepts, approaches etc.) • ESPON findings meet relatively strong country-specific/macroregional research traditions • > ESPON vis-a-vis policy community (dissemination) • > ESPON vis-a-vis research community (gradual learning, national ECPs play an important role))

  6. > young researchers; e.g., in Estonia: ”young scholars interested, open-minded and committed to ESPON dialogues interfacing and reflecting their region-specific case studies to the territorial concepts employed and delivered by ESPON” • > Interesting feedback on ESPON results from ”non-family members” • Challenges: regional involvement and commitment • However, targeted analyses have increased interest in ESPON concepts and results at a regional level
