Description:
Baltic Science Network (BSN) serves as transnational forum for higher education, science, and research cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region. BSN is gathering relevant transnational, national, and regional policy actors from the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) countries. The Network serves as a springboard for targeted multilateral activities in the frame of research and innovation excellence, mobility of scientists and widening participation. BSN has commissioned a study on research cooperation in the BSR that will enable BSN and its partners to develop proposals for joint transnational science strategy making in specific areas of scientific excellence. The preliminary results of the study will be discussed by the panel.

Elaboration:

What chances do we have in defining joint areas of excellence and joint strategies and research programmes, how can it help making BSR more competitive? What are the added value and benefits for the region and the single states and where are the limits? Can we define other cooperation criteria than excellence or must all cooperation be excellence driven?

The panelists have been chosen in order to have discussion input from several different points of views .
The discussion will be moderated which ensures that all panelists have the chance to be responsive to the leading questions.

As outcome the results of the discussion and recommendations from the panelists will be integrated in further work of BSN.
