EI-BBS has promoted transversal research projects around which the Special Multidisciplinary Projects are grouped.
In 2004 the following projects were started: Euskosare, Sustainable Development and Altube Etxea.
Eusko Ikaskuntza, in its efforts to offer the Basque Country a field of strategic reflection from the general and integrating perspective of diverse opinions, is working on a project of reflection on SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
The deliberations carried out within this Special Multidisciplinary Project on Sustainable Development (SMP-SD) were intended to provide answers to the first four questions we ask ourselves in terms of Sustainable Development:
Q1: What is happening?
Q2: How does it affect us?
Q3: What can we do?
Q4: What are we going to do?
Over 400 people have participated over the last two years in various working groups to provide an answer to each of these questions and reflect such answers in their corresponding Progress Report.
Our task throughout 2007 is going to be, firstly, to continue in-depth studies, in the various forums, of those aspects which in our opinion still need further reflection; secondly, there will be an attempt to promote the implementation of actions identified in the proposal denominated “Genuine and Lasting Progress for the Basque Country” as a result of the 4th progress report, in the Forum of the consensus between the various agents concerned therein; and thirdly, to collaborate in the processes of participation that could be implemented within the Basque Country. It is also our intention to collaborate in the broadcasting of adequate signals to Basque society for it to follow the course of sustainable development.
This set of proposals will finally contribute to provide an answer to Question 5: how are we going to do it?
