["EE-LV00068","Activation of young people as future leaders in rural areas through cross-border cooperation",null,"Both in Setomaa and Ape rural areas the population is decreasing, which is the common trend in rural remote areas in Estonia and Latvia. Local young people need some extra motivation or trigger to stay or come to live in Setomaa and Ape region and to explore their own way for self-realization. Without active participation of young generation in local communities these kind of regions usually vanish slowly, but firmly.\nThe main objective of the project is to establish a strong cross-border network of ca 30 future young leaders at age 18-30 from Setomaa and Ape communities and to improve their leadership, innovation, administrative and other skills in the format of \"Cross-Border School of Future Leaders\". During the project they can explore their own strengths and potential, and find out how they can contribute to the further development of local community as leaders of some networks, organisations, village NGO's etc. The programme includes five sessions where the participants get new knowledge in topics like: management and leading skills, participatory leadership, team work, administration of NGO’s (incl. legal and financial aspects etc), organising cultural/sport/other events, project writing and administration, working with media/PR, self-branding, self-management, entrepreneurship, network management etc. The programme ends with 5-days summer camp in Setomaa, during which more practical skills will be developed resulting with smaller teams, who have designed a common idea for some project or initiative which they plan to realize in local communities. \nUsing the cross-border approach and involving participants from both countries to the programme makes it much more attractive for young people - they get first experience in international cooperation, can meet new people and make new friends from other country, can learn from international lectors and speakers etc. The project will be implemented in close cooperation with municipal youth work specialists.",null,"2023-10-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_EE-Lv_1) More cooperating cross-border regions and development of joint services","ISO6.3.

Pollution detection and deterrence: The capability provided by the platforms is to detect pollution at an early stage and respond to it as quickly as possible through real-time data monitoring. Deterrence of pollution is also an important factor, as the information from the platform will also allow better identification of the source of the pollution, which will reduce the risk of deliberate pollution by reducing the risk of being penalised.

["EE-LV00101","Machine Learning & Remote Sensing for Healthy Forest",null,"Machine learning and AI have developed a lot during the last 10 years. So far these technologies have not been used in private sector forestry programs and thus have not been integrated in the decision making process by forest companies in the program area. During the next 10 years national cutting volumes will be decreasing both in Estonia and Latvia. This means revenues in forestry are decreasing and only more efficient operating companies will survive. Forest owners need to implement modern technologies and machine learning analyses in their decision making and planning processes in order to make decision making more automated, objective and cost-efficient. \nSo far forest software companies (IT-companies) in Estonia and Latvia have been lacking sufficient knowledge and investments to implement those new technologies. This project will help to overcome those challenges and make first practical solution for private forest management. \n\nIn many national and international strategies it is stated that CO2 emissions have to decrease and CO2 binding can be increased by young forests. There are already active CO2 markets and tools for CO2 trading have also reached the forest sector. Forest owners will be selling CO2 credit based on their forests' ability to bind carbon more and more in the near future. But CO2 credits can be traded in young forests that are maintained carefully and timely. \n\nThis project will develop a service that helps forest owners to detect areas where 1) cleaning and thinning of young forest or 2) commercial thinning is necessary based on current remote sensing data and machine learning (ML). \nOverall objective of the project is development of a fully automated ML4HealthyForest service for at least 300 private forest owners (with approximately 100,000 ha of forest land) in Estonia and Latvia, which provides objective automated forest management recommendations based on remote sensing data, modeling, ML and automated forest growth algorithms. Users will be private individuals, private companies and funds managing their forest. Currently such service is not available in Estonia and Latvia, but it would provide valuable data and is highly requested by forest owners in both countries. The need for such a service was identified through contact with existing forest companies and industry support organizations (such as Erametsaliit and The Estonian Forest and Wood Industries Association), which are current clients of Deskis and BSS, as well as through numerous interviews conducted by BSS as part of previous research and development projects.\n\nML4HealthyForest service will pilot new innovative tools such as:\n- tools for planning and predicting future forest works based on existing tabular and field data;\n- automated predictions for future forest works based on modeling forest growth;\n- automated identification of the necessity for young stand and commercial thinning using remote sensing data and machine learning.\n\nNew automated forest management tools will be integrated into existing forest management software services (ForestMan.eu in Estonia (owned by Deskis), ForestRadar in Latvia (owned by Baltic Satellite Service) and other GIS systems of the private forest sector) already in use in Estonia and Latvia.\n\nCross-border cooperation is needed to achieve the project's objectives:\n\n\n1. Collect sufficient amounts of ground truth data for developing machine-learning and modeling algorithms. Combining Estonian and Latvian forest data will result in sufficient data needed for both model development and model validation. \n\n\n2. Both countries need the same algorithm. Forest owners have their own forest portfolios on both sides of the Estonian-Latvian border, and there is an increasing tendency to use the same software for managing cross-border forest portfolios. In this case, it is important to use the same models for both Estonian and Latvian forests. Especially since the tree species and management practices are quite similar in both countries.\n\n\n3. Need for improved quality of Forest Registry data in both countries. Currently, national forest inventory databases are outdated, contain errors and are not reliable for objective decision-making. The proposed fully automated processing of the new LIDAR data will be very valuable, as it will provide completely new and accurate forest data that fully covers Latvia and Estonia.\n\n\n4.

The aim of the Programme under this specific objective is to strengthen and support the cross-border contacts and activities between the communities, involve citizens and establish social networks that would enable further cross-border cooperation and enhance trust-building.\n\nOur key words - social inclusion, minorities, voluntary work as first work expierence.\n\nThe leaders of the commune in Estonia are the people from FC Kalju branches in Pärnu, Hapsalu and Risti, for whom they work. They are volunteer coaches, football organizers. They already work in these municipalities and they will have this for capacity building on how to organize events and how to build communes. On the other hand, the leaders of this commune in Latvia are the long-term cooperation partners of the STREETBASKET association, who do not have their own official companies, but they have worked of their own free will and they have an important social aspect to make something happen in these cities. Other times, they are simply active organizers, former athletes, other times they are municipal employees who have been working in sports departments for a long time. STREETBASKET works in such cities as Ventspils, Cēsis, Valmiera. In five years, a long-term cooperation with these leaders of the commune has already been established. As part of the project, we will give them the opportunity to participate and strengthen their capacity.\n\nWith project Latvian – Estonian football communities for social change and sustainability “Play Forward: Football for Social Sustainability” we will foster social inclusion for minorities, promote healthy lifestyle and strengthen mutual cooperation in football area between Latvia and Estonia by training the community leaders.",null,"2024-10-01","2025-09-30","(VI-A_EE-Lv_1) More cooperating cross-border regions and development of joint services","ISO6.3.

["EE-LV00111","A unified management system of the moose (Alces alces) population in the EstLat territory.",null,"The moose (Alces alces) population is part of the biological diversity of the EsLat territory. The moose is not a strictly protected species, but it is essential for the existence of other EU strictly protected species - the wolf (Canis lupus) and the brown bear (Ursus actros). It is known, that moose is the unifying element of EstLat territory. The inhabited area of each individual moose can be in both countries at the same time. Moose population is in dramatic decline in both countries at the same time. There are various reasons for this. The most important thing is the desire of the interested parties - forest owners, farmers, traffic organisers, and insurers - to reduce the size of the population. This will reduce various risks and save considerable money, which is necessary for the protection of new forests and winter crops, for investments in road infrastructure, and for the restoration of damaged vehicles after collision with moose. Both countries have the same moose population. It is currently managed separately. The main challenge of the project would be to create the conditions for us to consider it as one population and act accordingly.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to gain knowledge about moose and their behaviour in Latvia and Estonia. Transferring knowledge to all stakeholders is part of accomplishing this task. We have very limited knowledge and data about moose. Currently, we manage moose with administrative methods. Importantly, home range of moose is completely undiscovered. It is currently divided between different hunting clubs and they each manage one moose according to their understanding and knowledge. Our goal would be to determine the precise home range size for single moose.\nThe expected change of this project would be that we change the management of the moose population from a hunting club-sized unit to the size of the moose's ecological space. Currently, the average hunting club is from 5000 ha. It is also known, that moose home range changes between 50,000 to 100,000 ha, according to studies conducted in Sweden and Finland. Such studies have not been conducted at a scientifically reliable level in Estonia and Latvia.\n\nThe main output of the project will be clear information about moose movements and behaviour in different habitats during seasons of the year. A number of stakeholders will benefit from the results of the project:\n- traffic organisers - knowing moose movement and behaviour habits during the day, they can adjust and develop traffic (warning signs, fences, eco-roads) so that it is safer for any of its participants on a daily basis;\n- insurers – they can inform policyholders and road users how to reduce risks in order to reduce traffic accidents;\n- forest owners – knowing moose movement and behaviour habits during the season, they can adjust forest management, for example, by reducing or increasing the amount of regeneration stands with a specific tree species in a certain area;\n- farmers – pay attention to the cultivation of various crops of interest to moose near the forest in order to reduce damage;\n- hunters – by improving the moose management model, they will get a healthier moose population, which will be more resistant to various risks (diseases, incorrect registration of animals, and determining the amount of hunting);\n- society – increased public interest in the protection and management of large herbivores gives the project special importance. The meaning of a whole moose population is a sufficient number of moose calves, which are part of the food of large predators (for example, wolves, bears).\nWe plan to perform various tasks in cooperation with organizations of different levels. Successful fieldwork plays an important role in achieving project goals. This is possible only with the cooperation of experts from both countries, from organisations representing hunters, local hunting clubs, and researchers. The unifying element of the project is the moose and the EstLat territory inhabited by the moose, which is why a unified approach to its management is so important. We can create a stable and vital moose population by implementing common management principles. A total of 40 moose will be equipped and monitored with GPS satellite tracking collars in both countries, which will provide information on their movement between countries, between hunting clubs, their behaviour, and time spent in different habitats or near traffic infrastructure.\nA common moose management strategy should be formed by obtaining information about moose movement and behaviour.

Fucus vesiculosus communities provide habitat and shelter for numerous organisms and thereby are known as important hotspots of biodiversity. Changes in the structure of the F. vesiculosus community will also affect the ecology of the associated organisms. Fucus vesiculosus is sensitive to environmental changes and a strong decline in depth distribution has been reported during the last five decades for the Baltic Sea. These drastic changes in distribution and biomass have been attributed mainly to the effects of increasing eutrophication and sedimentation on the ecosystem level, resulting in more shading, and competition with ephemeral filamentous macroalgae or epiphytic microalgae. In addition to on-going activities to decrease the land-based overload of nutrients and pollution, direct in situ restoration actions could reverse these drastic changes in the distribution of F. vesiculosus. \n\nThe Gulf of Riga is the wide, shallow water basin situated between Estonia and Latvia. Estonia and Latvia are jointly responsible for the environmentally sustainable management of the wild natural resources of the Gulf of Riga and its ecosystem. This project aims to jointly develop and carry out pilot actions for F. vesiculosus restoration in the Gulf of Riga to maintain the health and longevity of F. vesiculosus communities.

CAP interventions have been moving towards sustainable agriculture and preservation of biodiversity on agricultural fields for a long time now. New challenging targets and obligations are set for agriculture sector, and particularly for farmers, concerning biodiversity preservation. Existing information on agrobiodiversity suffers from fragmentation. A more comprehensive understanding of biodiversity aspects, coupled with the adoption of practical measures are not adequately communicated to farmers. \nFarmers themselves feel pressured and overwhelmed due to large number of new regulations. At local farm level it is difficult to see how the very same measures actually improve farmers own profitability while at the same time improving habitat quality for local species. Therefore, to facilitate biodiversity aspects related to agriculture, project activities are essential to educate farmers, exchange knowledge and test best practices applicable specifically for programme area.\nThe aim of FARM Biodiversity project is to develop 2 practical solutions enhancing biodiversity in arableagriculture-related biodiversity aspects by approximately 50-70 farmers through sharing of best practices and measures applicable for crop production and animal husbandry sectors..\nAs one important results, farmers from both countries are able to perform a kind of ambassadorial function with their own stories of experience and thus promote biodiversity measures among farmers community. This is undoubtedly much more effective than can be done through scientific publications in a narrow academic or advisory circle.\nAs main output, 2 solutions are developed in close cooperation of farmers associations and research institutions from both countries in the format of practical guidelines and recommendations for farmers managing arable fields and grasslands in Est-Lat programme area.\nThe solution covers topics related to the:\n- the efficiency and impact of different measures/actions to the biodiversity\n- practical methods/recommendations how to select and implement most appropriate measures\n- real benefits for farmers\nThe assessment of the effectiveness of tested practices will be conducted in conjunction with biodiversity monitoring in order to ensure the reliability of the tested methods. As a novel aspect, there is a plan to focus also on economic analysis to determine the economic benefits of different measures for farmers. For testing different practices ca 5-7 pilot farms from both countries will be involved to the project. Project experts consult and support pilot farms in implementation of pilot actions (for example creating different buffer strips/zones either with grasses or catch crops or intermediate crops, changes in frequency/height/times of mowing in grasslands, grazing etc). The aim is to cover in total ca 70-80 ha agricultural land with pilot actions. Installation of pollinator/bug houses providing habitats for insects is one of the potential measures to be tested, incl. monitoring how these artificial habitats are recognized and accepted by insects.\nSharing best practices using farmer-to-farmer approach works the best.

Partners are also planning 2 foreign visits for pilot farmers and project team to Netherland or Denmark, and UK. These visits facilitate learning from best practices of local farmers in these countries who have successfully implemented diverse measures with tangible results.\nIn order to receive more useful information from real life partners plan to make small-scale monitoring in addition to the pilot farms also in those farms, who have received earlier support from CAP strategic plan interventions. It includes counting plant species, birds, bumblebees, butterflies on field edges using standardized common methods used in both countries. Partners arrange study in pilot farms on digital GIS information and farm data, incl. in-depths interviews with pilot farmers. Partners arrange also online-survey among other farmers, who have received support from existing ecosystem services maintenance support scheme.

The common concern of these small ethno-cultural regions is the extinction of local language and culture. The transmission of culture and language from generation to generation is stuck and there is a serious risk, that cultural richness in these regions will slowly fade away. Continuity of heritage is endangered because children spend more time in virtual world having no connection with local identity. There is a small number of children under the age of 18, who can speak local language. Young people's awareness of local cultural heritage and sense of own identity should be much higher. Nowadays not many families preserve local traditions and speak local language, therefore it would be most effective to include the learning of local heritage in the education system. But currently local traditions and language are passed on in schools and kindergartens to children in insufficient quantity and quality. Currently teaching local cultural heritage and language in involved regions is usually arranged in quite traditional way, which is neither interesting nor attractive for today's children. Those teaching materials produced 5-10 years ago, cannot be used efficiently any more, as there has been major shift in education system, incl. new understanding how the learning process should practically take place.\n\nThe objective of current project is enhanced heritage culture teaching in municipal schools and kindergartens focusing on wider usage of contemporary and innovative practices and technologies. Partners plan to design the solution, how to surround children in educational institutions with local cultural heritage in a way that supports the natural learning process.\nA common strategy will be composed for enhanced cultural heritage and language teaching in cooperation of project partners from 4 cultural spaces, external experts, representatives of target groups (teachers, children), municipality specialists etc. It includes identifying long-term and short-term strategic goals and necessary actions. Pilot actions are implemented for higher motivation and capacity of teachers, school managers and municipal specialists using innovative \"surrounded by heritage\" concept when organizing heritage culture and language teaching in 7 pilot schools + kindergartens (5 from Estonia, 2 from Latvia). An innovative solution is created how to surround children in educational institutions with local cultural heritage in a way that supports the natural learning process. Much attention is paid to the wider usage of different visual elements, interactive teaching materials and contemporary technology. The solution includes different methods how to increase childrens engagement and how to improve teachers and school managers commitment and motivation.\nThe general idea is to find solution how to pass on local cultural heritage and language without increasing the volume of studies at schools/kindergartens, but in natural way surrounding children and youngsters with heritage.\n\nThere will be 2 main focus areas in common strategy and solution:\n1) how to use attractive visual elements in school/kindergarten environment, so the children and youngsters are daily \"surrounded by heritage\". It can include the design and production of different signs, banners, images, pictures etc.\n2) how to use contemporary interactive teaching materials and equipment, which is selected using professional advice from experts of educational psychology and technology. Partners procure small-scale equipment and tools, and develop the content/material introducing local heritage and language to children/youngster at different age groups. \n\nOne of the topics for the strategy is how to use the language with children, and to motivate teachers, who speak well local language. \nFor efficient piloting of the solution, partners develop and implement a training programme for teachers in each region. During the trainings most important elements of local cultural heritage are introduced and visits to most important heritage sites in the region are arranged, incl. stories, legends, history etc. A series of heritage events at schools and kindergartens enable to experience local culinary, handicraft, music, singing etc traditions in practice through practical activities (for example celebrating traditional holidays using old customs, songs, games etc). In that way it is possible for children and yougsters to experience local heritage in practice as \"living culture\".

["EE-LV00254","AI-powered agronomic assistant for optimizing greenhouse vegetable cultivation",null,"The proposed project addresses the common challenge of improving the competitiveness and sustainability of small- and medium-scale greenhouse vegetable growers, such as Weiss and Kligeni, within the programme area. These two SMEs face significant difficulties in competing with large-scale producers in the EU and outside of the EU, particularly due to a lack of access to advanced agronomic tools and expertise. This situation leaves them struggling to analyze their growing environments, identify issues, and optimize crop yields effectively, which puts them at a disadvantage in the marketplace. The same challenge applies to other growers in the programme area. \nThe overall objective of the project is to jointly develop an AI-powered agronomic assistant tailored to the specific needs of greenhouse vegetable growers. This innovative tool will analyze the entire growing environment, including plant surroundings and root conditions, and provide real-time, personalized recommendations to optimize plant health, growth phases, and yield. By enabling growers to improve crop quality and adopt sustainable practices, the project aims to bridge the technology gap and foster resilience in small-scale farming communities. The expected change includes increased competitiveness of Weiss and Kliegeni, enhanced efficiency in resource use, and a shift towards more sustainable agricultural practices.\n\nThe main outputs of the project include:\nEstablishment of a cross-border cooperation between Estonia and Latvia. This collaboration brings together diverse expertise from AI developers (TapTapSoft), agricultural researchers(LBTU), and greenhouse operators to create innovative solutions for greenhouse vegetable cultivation. By integrating cutting-edge scientific discoveries from partners like LBTU with practical knowledge from greenhouse operators and advanced AI tools from Estonian technology providers, the project will facilitate knowledge exchange via joint workshops, data-driven decision-making training, and pilot studies.\nJointly developed solution - The Agronomist AI assistant revolutionizes greenhouse plant monitoring and management by providing actionable, data-driven insights through enhanced daily reports. By integrating data from environmental sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, CO₂), growing medium health metrics, and plant growth indicators, the system uses AI-powered analysis to identify patterns, detect anomalies, and alert growers to potential issues like nutrient deficiencies or suboptimal plant environment. Insights are presented in a clear, visual format with graphs, and trends, making complex data easy to understand. Tailored recommendations for Weiss and Kligeni help optimize irrigation schedules, ventilation, and other greenhouse operations. The assistant provides unique two-way communication by actively engaging growers by prompting questions or suggesting actions based on observed data.\nA third output of the project is the successful piloting of the AI-powered agronomic assistant in real-world greenhouse environments. The pilot phase will be conducted greenhouses in Estonia (Weiss) and Latvia(Kligeni), ensuring the solution is tested in diverse conditions and with different crop varieties (tomato and cucumber). This phase involves deploying the assistant, gathering feedback from growers, and refining the system based on user interactions and observed results. \nBy providing an accessible, interactive platform, this tool democratizes agronomic expertise, enabling Weiss and Kligeni to access the same level of guidance typically available only to large-scale producers. This feature fosters confidence in decision-making and contributes to the long-term success of greenhouse growers.\nThe primary beneficiaries of these outputs are Weiss aiand and Kliģeni but also possibility for other small- and medium-scale greenhouse vegetable growers who will have an opportunity to gain access to a user-friendly, data-driven tool. Additionally, agricultural consultants, research institutions, and the broader farming community will benefit from the project's insights and advancements in sustainable agricultural practices.\nA cross-border approach is crucial as it allows leveraging diverse expertise across Estonia and Latvia, combining cutting-edge AI technology development from Estonia with deep agronomic research expertise from Latvia.

Key cross-border river ecosystems between the two countries, such as the Gauja-Koiva and Pedele river basins, are increasingly threatened by macro- and microplastic pollution. Coastal river basins, including Salaca and Pärnu, as well as adjacent coastal areas of the shared Gulf of Riga, are also impacted by marine litter, including plastic. This pollution not only endangers aquatic life but also affects communities that rely on these ecosystems for resources and recreation.\nEnvironmental organizations agree that addressing environmental challenges requires not only changes in national policies but also shifts in societal and individual behavior. Schools, alongside parents, play a crucial role in shaping individuals' values and behaviors. Recognizing the need for cross-border collaboration, the partners—BEF Latvia, LHEI, and TEEC—have identified an urgent opportunity to strengthen their capacities for engaging community representatives, particularly schools. The multi-actor collaboration—NGOs, researchers, educators, and the youth – through citizen science, is not yet well-established, especially in the transboundary Estonian-Latvian context.\nThe project's objective is to build a citizen-science community by fostering collaboration among various actors—NGO activists (BEF), youth (Pärnu-Salacgriva; Valga-Valka schools), educators (TEEC, teachers), and researchers (LHEI) in Latvia and Estonia. The focus is on water protection, plastic pollution reduction, and biodiversity conservation through citizen science and educational activities. We believe that it is crucial to inspire young people to become active citizens who contribute to policy changes through quality research, personal responsibility, and leading by example. A citizen-science approach can build better trust among different target groups while contributing to improving local environmental conditions.\nThe project will involve diverse joint activities, particularly in cross-border river basins (Salaca, Pärnu, and Pedele) and along the Baltic Sea coast (Gulf of Riga). It will begin with an exploratory day in the Salaca River catchment and along the Baltic Sea coast near the LV/EE border, engaging about 50 local people from both countries in joint citizen science activities. This will also provide the project partners (8 members) with an opportunity to learn about each other's methods in detail, customize them, and produce initial outcomes. These activities within WP1 will lay the foundation for a citizen-science community focused on river and coastal waters.\nThe project will then put its effort on building trust and developing a framework for collaboration between schools located near the border: Pärnu Kuninga Tänava Põhikool, Salacgriva, Valga Gümnaasium, and Valka school. Several cross-border citizen-science events will bring together youth and teachers from these schools, fostering collaboration and shared learning experiences. Through a series of joint activities (sampling, teaching methods, sharing results, etc.), a connected community of representatives (NGO experts, educational centers, researchers, teachers, and youth) will be established, with 220 participants in joint events.\nThe project partners expect that implementing joint and diverse activities will foster trust in cooperation among multiple actors, ultimately resulting in the establishment of a specific citizen-science community as a key outcome.\n\nA citizen-science approach will be central to building trust and establishing a multi-actor community through cooperation between NGOs, researchers, educators, and youth. The project aims to leverage Estonia’s expertise in biodiversity monitoring within the UNESCO ASPnet Baltic Sea Project, as well as Latvia’s experience in researching plastic pollution through the Plastic Pirates campaign and addressing consumption patterns through BaltiPlast. By creating synergies, the project will address shared environmental and societal challenges. Knowledge and practices from the Plastic Pirates campaign will be transferred from Latvia to Estonia. Concurrently, Latvian schools will gain educational methods and online tools for biodiversity monitoring, contributing data to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Hands-on approaches will be employed, providing youth with opportunities to use real research equipment, engage in field sampling alongside scientists, knowing that their data will be used in research.

Regarding governmental support it is possible to focus on a few sports at a time hence success development of particular sport depends on local communities activities and involvement. Therefore, it is important to strengthen contacts between two small countries and have common activities by involving society and establishing new networks what will serve in future as a base for further cross-border cooperation. With this project we are addressing following challenges of the Baltic Sea Region – connecting the region and increasing prosperity (in terms of inclusive society with wellbeing approach). The overall objective of the project is to enhance cooperation between Latvian and Estonian communities through joint actions in order to develop and popularize children’s and youth ice hockey now and in the future. Particular communities tackled are from Marupe municipality in Latvia and Tartu municipality in Estonia.\n\nExpected changes:\nA. Improved knowledge and skills for Latvian and Estonian coaches - improved coaching strategies and technical know-how for Latvian and Estonian coaches through structured experience exchange. Children and youth will acquire a deeper understanding of ice hockey, improving their technical skills and teamwork abilities.\nB. Social impact - strengthened cultural understanding and collaboration between Latvian and Estonian participants, fostering mutual respect and a sense of shared regional identity, development of a supportive and inclusive community network, promoting trust and long-term cooperation across borders.\nC. Changing attitude - increased participation in cross-border sports activities among youth, with greater parental involvement in fostering a supportive sports environment.\n \nThe main outputs will be: friendly hockey family build between Latvia and Estonia promoting healthy competition on new format hockey playing fields and testing the abilities of young hockey players on the ice, commonly organized events both in Latvia and Estonia, trust and friendship building, educational lectures for parents, organized discussions in municipalities about ice hockey development. Target groups who will benefit are as follows: children and youth, their parents, coaches, hockey club leaders and managers, local municipalities. \nOur approach is cross border joint actions with both countries participants now and developed collaboration plans for future (collaboration scheme for future will be developed). The project foresees exchange visits – common events like training and sports, joint activities (i.e. summer camp, tournament), experience exchange (educational lectures, experience exchange among coaches) and future networking (discussions between Latvian and Estonian municipalities and future collaboration plan development). \n\nList of events and activities:\n\n\n1. Project start meeting in Tartu, Estonia (2 days, 11 participants, representatives of both partners, coaches, parents, club leaders);\n\n\n2. Three training camps:\n \n\n2.1. Tartu, Estonia (3 days, ~85 participants, U10-U14) including lecture for parents;\n \n\n2.2. Marupe, Latvia (5 days, ~85 participants, U10-U14) including lecture for parents;\n \n\n3. Strategic dialogue event: A round-table discussion with policymakers, sports leaders, and community members (~25 participants, Marupe, Latvia).\n\n\n4. Networking and future collaboration - development of a comprehensive collaboration plan outlining future joint activities and infrastructure sharing. Creation of an active network involving municipalities, NGOs, and hockey clubs.\n\n\n5. Promotional outputs - informative booklets, project-related posts (minimum one per quarter), and a press release at the start and end of the project, visibility actions through social media campaigns and local events to engage broader audiences (open hockey days, hockey festival).\n\nThe cross-border approach is powerful tool and is needed because it gives more opportunities to improve skills, exchange best knowledge (best practices, training methods, technical know-how) and generate greater interest and support for the sport. Working across borders can lead to the discovery of new talents. Joint activities allow to share necessary infrastructure and utilize available facilities better. Working together both countries can create more effective and targeted programs to develop children skills.

Both of these goals in the Program area primarily are linked to changes of land use type (afforestation) and/or management regime. Considering the necessity to ensure bioeconomy as the backbone of employment (thus maintenance of the population of the area), as well as the land/forest ownership structure, the suitable way to ensure the policy targets are reached, is via information (developing and providing guidelines and tools) and demonstration, inducing changes in decision making, that would lead to increasing biodiversity values in managed stands (or ensure reaching the same values in shorter time period). Afforestation and forest regeneration by planting in the Program area is dominated by spruce, increasing risks of large-scale disturbances in future and relatively low biodiversity. Thus solutions for climate-smart establishment of new regeneration of forests are important to reduce these risks, increasing resilience, adaptation and biodiversity. Such solutions are topical due to planned larger-scale afforestation efforts (to mitigate climate changes) and increasing pace of climate changes (increasing risks).\nAim of the project: join the effort of Estonia and Latvia to develop climate-smart solutions of afforestation and forest regeneration for preserving and increasing biodiversity, primarily focusing on planted broadleaved trees.\nProject focuses on expansions of knowledge of and development of management recommendations for:\na) \tspruce-birch mixed stands;\nb) \tstands of broadleaved and/or currently rare (or rare in managed forests) tree species;\nData for development of solutions will be collected from sets of existing trials as much as possible, since it is the way to ensure more accurate information with less effort and in shorter time. Where trials do not exist, stands with desired characteristics will be found and assessed. Biodiversity (species and microhabitats) assessments will be carried out in all project areas (with different focus in each case). Additionally, in groups of the areas, resilience, growth and adaptation, vitality will be assessed and climate change mitigation potential, potential invasiveness and vitality of seeds/seedlings evaluated in detail for subset of trails. For details see attached graphical outline of the project structure.\nMixed stands will be covered in work package (WP) 1, based on a set of stands (5) and trials (12) with different structure. WP2 will evaluate two series of young trials (26 in total) to obtain planned indices for different species and initial densities. WP3 will evaluate older stands either with low initial density (24) or consisting or rare and/or introduced species (18).\nMain project output will be developed solutions in form of policy recommendations, important to support the establishment of stands with increased biodiversity, practical recommendations of form of guidelines and application, where suitable options for establishment of such stands can be determined, based on conditions, charactering the site and the aims. Project organizations have complementary expertise and sets of stands (trials) to ensure high accuracy of work and efficient development and distribution of prepared solutions.\nSubsets of assessed sites with easier access will be used as demonstration sites for the project seminars (8 in each country) for target groups (land owners, policy makers, and NGOs/other information multipliers) and included in nature-based tourism application/maps to better distribution of the information. Since part of the older sites (assessed in WP3) are already visited, the added information (project results) will reach a wider audience and the sites will benefit from additional visitors and improved visitor experience.

["EE-LV00149","Novel Advances in Fertility Expertise in Latvia and Estonia",null,"Poor demographic indicators in Estonia and Latvia threaten the continuity of our nations. Although the causes of low fertility rate primarily reflect the changed preferences of families and low economic security, couple’s infertility is also a significant contributing factor. One in six couples, i.e. 15% of the couples at childbearing age are experiencing involuntary childlessness. Improved medical assistance for couples experiencing difficulty in conceiving could alleviate low fertility rates, as seen in Nordic countries, where 10% of children result from assisted reproductive technologies (ART). However, in Latvia and Estonia, in addition to the low birth rate, the low use of ART is also a problem: in Latvia, only \n\n2.5% (about 400 children) of 16,000 births are conceived due to ART. Estonia has better accessibility to infertility treatment, yet only 6% (750 babies) out of 12,000 are born annually as a result of ART.\n\nInfertility affects both genders, stemming from various causes. Women may face infertility due to complex diseases like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), often linked to genetic factors. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), resulting in oocyte loss by age 40, affects 4% of women (PubMed reference, PMID: 30829083), often attributed to genetic mutations. According to Estonian medical data, male infertility can also be caused by various diseases, with severe male infertility (SMI), where sperm cells are absent or rare, affects 2% of all men, often caused by genetic mutations (PMID: 27864361). Severe infertility conditions (POI and SMI) are estimated to affect 6% of the reproductive-age population, potentially impacting 30,000 and 40,000 women and men in Estonia and Latvia, respectively, in their journey to parenthood.\n\nInfertility treatment is a complex and expensive procedure that considers the causes of infertility. The diagnosis affects treatment decisions and the choice of the right treatment protocol. Options, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) with the couple's own or donor gametes, and preimplantation testing of embryos in the presence of genetic risks, are the most feasible ART choices. Understanding the causes of infertility not only shapes the treatment protocol but also helps mitigate future risks of infertility-associated diseases and prevents the transmission of genetic issues to the next generation, emphasizing the importance of personalized care.\n\nIn the NOVAFERT project, two novel genetic tests for the identification of genetic determinants of female and male infertility, including POI and SMI, will be developed. These molecular tests will provide a single test for POI and SMI diagnostics, covering diverse gene and genome mutations from single nucleotide changes in genes to large structural chromosomal abnormalities. Knowing the exact genetic causes helps to tailor personalized infertility care for the couples, addressing the underlying genetic reasons and facilitating the choices such as whether to pursue IVF with own or donated gametes, embryo and/or fetal genetic testing, adoption, or any other family-building options. Moreover, individuals with identified infertility-causing genetic changes benefit from following counseling, by being provided with information about the inheritance pattern of the condition, potential risks to offspring, and available options for family planning. \n\nThe main beneficiary of the project will be the Competence Centre on Health Technologies (CCHT), whose portfolio of services these genetic tests would complement, providing more personalized infertility care. Currently, there is a lack of diagnostic tools to reveal genetic causes of infertility. The development of tests, including POI/SMI, will address this gap, enabling to offer comprehensive and one-stop services from infertility diagnostics to personalized treatment to our customers in Estonia, the Baltic countries and in Europe. CCHT contributes to the partnership its business and technology know-how, and international network of customers to help bringing the research outcomes into clinical use and commercial exploitation. \n\nThe novel genetic tests will be developed in collaboration with the academic partner RSU. As a public sector institution RSU is interested in sharing knowledge and offering its expertise to the industry thereby also expanding the value chain of its own services. RSU is a unique partner in the Baltic countries for the CCHT, with its extensive knowledge in medical genetics, genomics and bioinformatics, and unique previous experience in creating a prototype genetic test for infertility. The RSU biobank, containing DNA samples from diagnosed infertility patients, that can be successfully used in the validation of tests being developed, is essential for international accreditation of medical services.\n\nBeyond NOVAFERT, the project lays the groundwork for future collaboration and joint research and development activities between CCHT and RSU.",null,"2024-09-01","2027-08-31","(VI-A_EE-Lv_2) Jointly and smartly growing businesses","RSO1.3.

["EE-LV00152","Collection and Recycling of End-of-Life and Lost Fishing Gear",null,"End-of-life (EOL) fishing gear can easily become marine litter or litter on land if there is no system in place to collect and recycle it. Accordingly, derelict fishing gear (DFG) causes “ghost fishing” where the gear continues to catch fish and other marine wildlife long after it has been lost. Other risks include entanglement of divers and boat propellers. In the long-term DFG turns into a potential health risk as degrading nets become micro plastics and a part of the food chain. As this happens, they might also release hazardous materials into the environment, like lead used in lead-lines or chemical additives as phthalates, BPA and PBDEs. \n\nThe EU and UN climate goals include achieving carbon neutrality. Most fishing gear is made from synthetic polymer materials derived from fossil fuels like oil and gas. By recycling end-of-life fishing gear as a secondary raw material, the natural resources needed to make new plastic can be reduced.\n\nProblems caused by DFG have not been effectively dealt with in the EstLat region: there is a lack of joint action to prevent end-of-life fishing gear from being abandoned and very little has been done to ensure that collection and recycling schemes for EOL and DFG are adequate and up-to-date; there's also a lack of action in the planning and implementation of DFG recovery initiatives - that is, cleaning the water bodies of DFG.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to improve the environmental status of the EstLat border water bodies through the recovery of derelict fishing gear; to enable adequate and up-to-date collection facilities for end-of-life and derelict fishing gear in four locations in the EstLat region and to promote responsible recycling of end-of-life fishing gear in the EstLat region.\n\nThe target groups benefiting from the project include fishermen, port managers, fishing gear suppliers, municipalities and sectoral agencies. The project aims to ensure the availability of adequate and up-to-date collection facilities in four locations in the EstLat region, two in Latvia and two in Estonia. The project will provide the target groups with the knowledge and practical skills on how to clean, sort and pre-process separately collected fishing gear in the harbours. \n\nThe project will identify hot spot areas for lost fishing gear and conduct DFG retrievals. COREEL will use new sonar technology to detect DFG over large areas and pinpoint the location of DFG. The benefits and cost savings are manifold and noticeable - the new technology can map several times larger areas of water compared to the previous technology; it will help to achieve the same objective and result with real savings in terms of resources.\n\nThe DFG problem does not recognise borders between countries and regions - waves, currents, prevailing winds move lost and abandoned fishing gear across borders. By jointly addressing the issue of EOL and DFG, a larger amount of gear can be collected. The more gear that can be collected and recycled, the more interest and capacity recycling companies have to invest in recycling equipment and separate collection infrastructure. The latter is currently preventing separately collected plastic fishing gear from being recycled as a secondary raw material.\n\nWhile in 2025-2026 the new system of collection and recycling of fishing gear by EPR organisations is expected to be operational, in previous decades tens of tonnes of EOL gear have accumulated in ports and warehouses. This gear will not be covered by the future EPR scheme, and fishermen do not know what to do with it, due to the high costs of transport and waste recycling. Also, the future EPR organizations only collect and recycle of their own marketed gear, and will initially aim to collect only a fraction of the gear placed on the market.\nThis means that the environmental objectives of the EU will not be met, and support will be needed to ensure proper collection of EOL gear. By developing technologies for cleaning and pre-processing, it is possible to convert at least part of this material into a resource with a positive market value as a secondary raw material. To this end, high quality data on the quantities, composition and origin of fishing gear is needed. By analysing this data, the project creates a model for the collection and recycling of gear with optimal geographical coverage, appropriate infrastructure and technology for the Est-Lat area, which can serve as a model for project target groups.\n\nThe main outputs of the project will be improved reception facilities, an improved knowledge base on gear pre-processing, a map of DFG accumulation areas, a new and tested DFG detection and retrieval technology based on a semi-submersible autonomous underwater vehicle integrated with 3D sonar, EstLat water areas cleared of DFG, and a guideline for future DFG search and retrieval operations.",null,"2024-08-01","2027-11-30","(VI-A_EE-Lv_3) Sustainable and resilient programme area","RSO2.7.

Cooperation over competition in the region is of benefit to the communities and economies here.\n\nProject outputs:\n* A joint strategy for harbours development in the project area of Latvia and Estonia. \n* Local development and action plans for harbours – Talsi, Saaremaa, Hiiumaa.\n* Cooperation model for a future joint action for harbors development. \n\nA new approach is a joint development strategy and action plan to small harbor in the Estonia-Latvia project area, addressing the harbors as a network.

As a challenge and a solution there is need for opening of cross-border public bus lines between the nearest centers of Latvia and Estonia in the part that is not already covered by existing domestic public bus routes. Such directions are Valga - Valka, Viljandi - Valmiera, Võru - Aluksne, Kilingi-Nõmme - Valmiera, Ikla - Ainaži (Salacgriva, Limbaži).\n* Opening cross-border public bus lines creates equal opportunities for everyone for access to cross-border mobility. This way reducing the harmful effects of marginalization of border areas and use of cars.\n* The main outputs are a joint strategy and an action plan for cross-border public bus traffic and two complete and working in practice models for organizing and financing these bus lines. One for state-organized and the other for local governments organized bus lines. Another outputs are collecting data of actual passengers needs and creating of optimal timetables on this basis. The necessary data are obtained from experimental bus lines (Valga - Valka and Ikla - Ainaži ( Salacgriva) and from a survey conducted among residents, local governments and companies (Viljandi - Valmiera, Võru - Aluksne and Kilingi-Nõmme - Valmiera).\n Beneficiaries are Latvian-Estonian cross-border movers, especially residents of local governments along the border.\n* The opening of experimental bus lines creates a new demand for cross-border public transport, which needs to be analyzed. In the process of solving practical issues, problems hindering the cooperation of the organizations of both countries are revealed.\nUp to 1990s, there was tight public bus traffic between the Estonia and Latvia. With the establishment of state border control it was completely closed, but the need is still there. \n* Instead of solving problems between municipalities at the level of officials, which has not yielded results so far (for example, the attempt to open Valga-Valka city lines more than 10 years ago ), a joint international solutions will be found at the level of governments across the entire Estonian-Latvian border.",null,"2023-11-15","2026-11-14","(VI-A_EE-Lv_1) More cooperating cross-border regions and development of joint services","ISO6.2.

The aim is that both those people who are already physically active and are engaged in different teams, and those who have less experience, are able to take part at least in one cross-border event. Additionally partners have developed a solution how to encourage and motivate those people, who do not like bigger events and prefer to move outdoors individually or just with friends and family.
