  • Welcome Statement
  • Integrative Approaches Towards Sustainability
    (SHARING)
  • Jurmala (Latvia), 11-14 May 2005
  • Pierre Valette
  • Acting Director, Directorate I, DG RESEARCH,
    European Commission
  • The conference in Jurmala this year comes at a
    very appropriate time.
  • The Commission has presented its proposal for
    the 7th Framework Programme which introduces new
    elements and aims at considerably increasing the
    budget for research on a European level.
    Sustainable development is the prevailing
    objective and its principle cuts across the whole
    programme.
  • In addition, environmental research has been
    broadened and strengthened. The structure of the
    new Framework Programme for this area reflects
    the need for a more integrated approach where all
    three pillars of sustainable development are
    taken into the account in our scientific research
    and policy considerations.
  • The Commission services are currently
    elaborating the specific programmes per area with
    a view to finalising them by the end of June
    2005.
  • Therefore, the findings from this conference
    could produce a valuable input for the
    preparation of the programmes and we welcome this
    initiative
