On the other hand, it is clear that the construction market of 2009 will not be the same as it was during the years of hectic growth. The construction business is highly cyclical and responds to a positive economic environment with an upsurge that is times larger than the underlying economic growth, as it happened in Estonia. When the situation reverses and economic growth decelerates, the response Toomas Luman of the construction market is accordingly more acute.

During about the quarter of the century that has elapsed after regaining independence, our scientific landscape has changed radically. The lion’s share of research work is integrated with providing university education. The targets for the following seven years were defined at the very start of the year, in the document adopted by Riigikogu (Parliament) on January 22, 2014 and entitled “Estonian research and development and innovation strategy 2014- 2020. Knowledge-based Estonia”. It starts with the acknowledgement familiar to all of us that the number and complexity of challenges faced by the society is ever increasing.

    Tartu Centre for CCIs : Growing local CCIs through an export-driven incubation programme © Ahto Sooaru • Economic growth • Entrepreneurship • Attractiveness of territory • New business models • Skills • City branding Context Tartu is the second largest city in Estonia. It has 100,000 inhabitants, with a very young population (more than 50% of the population is under 30). This medium-sized city is often considered the intellectual and cultural centre of the country, embodied in a leading research and training institution, the University of Tartu, and a strong concentration of students (around 18,000 in 2011). Spearheading the country’s reputation in research and providers of higher education, the University of Tartu is ranked in the top 3% of the world’s universities. Tartu also has a strong cultural offer and a tradition of singing, folk music tradition and craftsmanship (in the St. Antoine area). Amongst small and medium-sized cities, Tartu is an early adopter of CCI support. It launched its creative industry policy in 2004 with a view to offering a new perspective to young talents, nurturing and encouraging creativity and local expression, and retaining the city’s young graduates by offering them business opportunities. Tartu was chosen as the location for the first Centre for Creative Industries in Estonia, as a result of a selection process that began in 2005 and drawing on the results of a national mapping of CCIs (completed by the Estonian Institute of Economics in 2003). The local CCI strategy revolves around three key principles: • Preservation and promotion of cultural resources to valorise local heritage including crafts.

  • July 2016 World Orienteering Championships 2017 Tartu
    BULLETIN 2 July 2016 World Orienteering Championships 2017 Tartu - Estonia 30.06.-07.07.2017 WELCOME TO ESTONIA! I am glad to welcome you to Estonia to attend the World Orienteering Championships in Tartu. I would encourage you to discover more of the cosiest country and our p rettiest countryside with only 1.3 million inhabitants and 45 thousand squre kilometres of land. Some call Estonia the smartest country as it produces more start-ups per capita than any other country in Europe. Our small country has become the best in e-democracy and e-government, being the first in the world to introduce online political voting. Needless to say, there is a WiFi-net that covers nearly all of the territory. Estonians have an identity card that allows us to access over 1,000 public services online, like healthcare and paying taxes. Being one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world, we decided to start the e-residency project and letting people from around the world become digital residents of Estonia online. Here you can start a new company online fastest, just in under 20 minutes. We love innovation but we value our roots. Estonians have one of the biggest collections of folk songs in the world, with written records of 133,000 folk songs. Our capital Tallinn is the best preserved medieval city in Northern Eu- rope. You might say Estonia is also the greenest country as forests cover about 50% of the territory, or around 2 million hectares. It is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe, but there are over 2,000 islands, 1,000 lakes and 7,000 rivers.

The ESN was founded in 1976 with the objectives to advance Neurochemistry for the public benefit and to promote the development of Neurochemistry in Europe. As it was always of special importance for our society to bring together Euro- pean scientists from East and West, several ESN meetings have been held in East Europe. Following this old tradition of ESN, we are pleased to have now our first meeting in one of the Baltic States. The program committee and the local organising committee have organised an outstanding meeting for our society. We have an excellent scientific prog- ram with prominent international plenary speakers, exciting symposia and minisymposia and a large number of excellent poster presentation. As new initiative, ESN has established now the ESN Young Members Symposia which will give our young members a platform to present their exciting scientific results as symposium talk at our international conference. Our meeting will offer heaps of opportunities for scientific exchange and interactions. The scientific content of our meeting will be nicely completed by several social events which will get us in close contact with Estonia and its history. I am convinced that you will enjoy our meeting and that you will have a great time in Tartu. Ralf Dringen President of ESN Dear Participants, It is our great pleasure to welcome delegates of the European Society for Neuro- chemistry 21st meeting in Tartu, in the old university town on the bank of the river Emajõgi on June 14-17, 2015.
