Scenarios and Vision for the European
Territory in 2050 (ET 2050)
Philippe Doucet
ERRIN Conference “Smart specialisation, integrated strategies
and territorial cohesion: tension or synergies”
27 September 2012 - Brussels
The ESDP process: 1989-1999, 14 ministerial meetings
“What needs to be done and where?”: no answer...
No map displaying geographically-differentiated policy objectives
• in the Territorial Agenda 2007 (adopted in 2007 in Leipzig)
• in the Territorial Agenda 2020 (adopted in 2011 in Gödöllő)
• in the Green Paper on Territorial Cohesion
• in the Baltic Sea Region and
Danube Region Strategies
But some attempts were made, for example:
Europe 2030 (Conference of
Peripheral and Maritime Areas
CPMR , 2002)
Eurocities: European Territorial Vision and Framework (ETVF)
“Giving Spatial Expression to the Concept of Territorial Cohesion”
All these exercises were tricky,
and no formal attempt has ever been made in the framework of the
EU economic, social and territorial cohesion policy.
However, the ESPON 2006 programme, launched in 2002, was
meant to provide technical support to the Territorial Agenda
process, hence to contribute to a geographically differentiated
policy approach.
ESPON 2006 = “European Spatial Planning Observation Network”.
ESPON 2013 = “European Observation Network for Territorial
Development and Cohesion”.
ESPON 2006, Project 3.2 : “Scenarios on the territorial future of
Europe”.

ESPON 2013 Programme: ET2050 Project
ET 2050 stands for: « Scenarios and Vision
for the European Territory in 2050 (ET 2050) »
Goal: supporting policy makers in formulating a
long-term integrated and coherent VISION for the
development of the EU territory from 2010
up to 2050.

3. Definition of Key Directions (aprox. 15 Trends + 15 Policies)
4. Comparison of Baseline Scenarios (aprox. 100 future-oriented studies)
5. Foresight exercise (indicators at World/EU scale (1950-2050, 10+50 indicators)

ET 2050 Scenario – Territory Matrix
First tentative outline !
The Vision-scenarios iterative process

The
building
process of the
scenarios and the
Territorial VISION
should be cyclical
and dynamic
allowing various
key-players to take
an active part in the
development and
testing of the
VISION and
scenarios
Scientifically-driven
VISION
Scenarios
Politically-driven
Important to address key-values and policy goals at an
early stage of the ET2050 project implementation process
