Projects of the Baltic Sea Academy
Running projects
The Baltic Sea Academy is implementing numerous projects as a Lead Partner. Some projects have a strategic, political approach, others concentrate on very specific sectors; some projects have only 9 partners, others partnerships of more than 20 organisations – but all projects always focus to produce tangible results for the benefit of small and medium-sized enterprises. The clear focus lies on R&D, education and environmental projects.
