From 15 to 17 September 2010 the capital region Berlin-Brandenburg will be the host of the international autumn conference of the European network of the metropolitan areas METREX and SCANDRIA under the title

Metropolitan Futures
LIVING LEARNING CREATING MOVING

One of the central concerns of the conference is how to use the potentials of our metropolitan regions more efficient in the future. In globalised economic and political systems metropolitan regions are the main engines of the worldwide economic, social, political and cultural exchange. At the same time many questions of accessibility, traffic streams and innovative logistics are challenges yet to be faced. In exchanging opinions and knowledge about the recent developments in these fields lies the possibility to form the future in a positive way. The exchange of knowledge not only strengthens the position of cities and regions in the regional competition but also enhances a strategic cooperation in communications, traffic and economical ways.

Are EU innovation and research policies making a difference in Regions of the Baltic Sea Area?

The Regions of Päijät-Häme, Uusimaa and Itä-Uusimaa, and the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR) are organising a seminar on 16 and 17 September 2010 in Lahti (Päijät-Häme), on the current impact of EU innovation and research policies in Regions of the Baltic Area, and on the future of these policies after 2013.

3 years after the beginning of the 2007-2013 programming period, and in the context of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR), the Lahti seminar aims to:

• Specifically address the issue of the Regions as regional authorities and the role they could have as key partners in the design and implementation of the next generation of EU and national instruments which will support the implementation of the innovation and research strands of EU2020 and of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR).
• Encourage practical exchanges of knowledge and experiences between public authorities and stakeholders managing EU innovation and research policies or benefiting from them.

The European Commission, the European Parliament, National and Regional governments, as well as stakeholders of the research and business community from several countries in the Baltic Sea Area will be represented among speakers and participants of the conference.

The Baltic Sea Region Programme conference "The power of the Baltic Sea macro-region" in Jyväskylä, Finland on 30 Nov-1 Dec 2010 will gather policy makers and representatives of national, regional and local authorities from all those countries bordering the Baltic Sea and beyond. We are also expecting participants from Non-Governmental Organisations, researchers and academics, project partners and interested project promoters - and all those dedicated to further developing the Baltic Sea region towards a model region in Europe.

The President of Finland Ms Tarja Halonen will provide the key note opening speech at the conference. From Mr Mauri Pekkarinen, Minister of Economic Affairs, we will get the Finnish viewpoints for the European Union's cohesion policy beyond 2013. Mr John Bachtler, Director of the European Policies Research Centre (Glasgow), and Mr Ole Damsgaard, Director of Nordregio, will provide the academic grounds for an informed exchange of views among conference participants about the much debated concept of macro-regional strategies in the European Union. We also expect prominent speakers from the European Commission and the Danube region to reflect on similarities and differences of building up a macro-regional development strategy. The transnational cooperation projects funded by the Baltic Sea Region Programme will demonstrate their achievements and contributions to the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea region. We also intend to open the final call for project applications and inform project promoters how to receive funds from our programme. Conference participants will have space to network and learn more about the City of Jyväskylä and the region of Central Finland at the pre-conference programme and get-together as well as conference reception.

The conference is organised by the Baltic Sea Region Programme in co-operation with the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the Regional Council of Central Finland and the City of Jyväskylä. Have you not been there yet? Jyväskylä is situated 270 km north from Helsinki, and very well connected by flights and trains. We look forward to welcoming you in Jyväskylä, the human technology city!

Detailed agenda and practical information will be made available at eu.baltic.net before summer. The factsheet will provide you with more information about Jyväskylä.
