Past ESDN Events

"Sustainable Development goes Mozart"

Salzburg, Austria 1 - 2 June 2006

The European Sustainable Development Network (ESDN) Conference was hosted on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd June in Salzburg. This conference was the fifth in a series of similar events.

The purpose of the 2006 ESDN Conference was to exchange knowledge and experiences on

  • The challenge of vertically integrating SD policies across levels of governance (EU – national-sub-national levels of governance),
  • Evaluating and peer reviewing SD strategies and
  • Further developing the ESDN

The three issues were dealt with in keynote presentations, working groups, a guided poster session, “word-rap interventions”, and plenary discussions.
