The European Commission and the 5 ’blueprints for regional foresight’

The European Commission has supported a number of working groups in the development of a series of 5 ’blueprints for regional foresight’ . These are aimed at experts involved in regional development and they cover a number of themes including the sustainable development of rural areas.

A dissemination workshop will take place in Brussels on 23 September. A website has been set up at:www.europa.eu.int/comm/research/con...

This site provides brochure on the blueprints that you are encouraged to circulate to your colleagues and it is possible to register at:www.teamwork.fr/inscription/blueprints/

We would be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of people involved in regional administration, key actors and stakeholder organisations and indeed anyone else you might need to partner with in the context of a foresight exercise at regional level.
