Impact Assessment for a New Europe and Beyond 15-17 June 2005
EASY-ECO Manchester Conference United Kingdom . The expansion of the European Union to embrace its ten new member states, along with new neighbourhood initiatives with other countries to the east and south, and economic partnerships with developing countries, are occurring in parallel with significant new developments in public policy formulation and decision-making. These include greater emphasis on evidence-based decisionmaking, better governance and governance reform, and the adoption of sustainable development as the overarching objective for public policy. Impact assessment (or evaluation) is playing an increasingly important role in all these areas. This applies to the European Commission itself, to national governments, local government, NGOs and the private sector, in EU member states and beyond. A key aim of this conference is to develop greater understanding of how different forms of impact assessment or evaluation can work together as an integrated whole, with the specific aim of strengthening European sustainable development as an integrated concept - locally, nationally, across the entire 25 member Union, and on to partnerships with other countries and to the EU’s contribution to global governance...."In order to book a place, please fill in the online booking form at http://www.sustainability.at/easy
