This page contains SERN documents. The main focus on the network’s work was the production of policy studies on several key issues identified by the member regions. These have been divided into core themes, which are key cross-cutting issues and specific topics, which are more targeted issues.


Core Themes

Governance
Regional Spatial Planning
Tools and Indicators

Specific Topics

Post-Industrial Regeneration
Rural Depopulation/Demographic Change
Low Carbon Economy
Sustainable Tourism
Sustainable Production and Consumption

They are further complemented by an overview study of  European Governance and Sustainable Development and a synthesis study of the network’s findings which will look at what makes a sustainable region and the lessons for the European Commission and Structural Funds programmes.
