A New Strategy for Europe

This article is part of the Forum Europe's Path Towards the Socio-Ecological Transition. It has become clear that Europe needs a new strategy that proactively pursues an ambitious "high road to competitiveness". The long-lasting financial crisis, problems in neighbouring countries and the handling of the situation in Greece have exacerbated the need for a consistent, longer-term strategy. The four-year WWWforEurope programme undertook research on strategy and governance for Europe, specifically focusing on the goals of economic dynamics, social inclusion and ecological excellence. The final report contains two parts; the first is an overarching synthesis,1 and the second outlines the results of different models and presents the research findings in the five research areas that provided inputs for the synthesis.2
