This EASY-ECO Series Event is sponsored by:

The first conference within EASY-ECO 2005-2007 is being organised by the Impact Assessment Research Centre in the University of Manchester's School of Environment and Development.

The conference aims to develop greater understanding of how different forms of strategic impact assessment (or evaluation) can work together as an integrated whole, with the specific aim of strengthening European sustainable development - locally, nationally, across the entire 25 member Union, in partnership with other countries, and in the EU’s contribution to global governance. It will set the scene for the subsequent EASY-ECO 2005-2007 conferences and training courses, by addressing in particular the strategic issues of impact assessment for sustainable development.
