Flagships

The concrete, grass root implementation of the EUSBSR takes place in joint transnational projects and processes. The projects and processess demonstrating the progress of the EUSBSR especially well are called flagships. They serve as pilot examples for desired change.

Policy area Nutri promotes flagships with specific goals corresponding to policy area Nutri actions to support the reduction of nutrient loads to the Baltic sea. Project leaders are welcome to send project proposals to policy area coordinators at any time. The proposal should fulfill the flagship criteria in the EUSBSR Action Plan and more specific policy area Nutri flagship criteria.
