As part of the H2020 project Development of Sustainable Research and Innovation (RRI) concepts in the countries of the Western Balkans: Improvement of self-sustaining R&I ecosystems, implemented by the Science and Technology Park of Montenegro and the NGO ZONa in Montenegro, a workshop was organized on the topic: “Presentation of scenarios on the possibility of valorization area of ​​the Bajo Sekulić Ulcinj salt pan through the application of the RRI concept”. 

The overall objective of the WBC RRI project is to encourage the application of the principles of responsible research and innovation (RRI) at the territorial level in the Western Balkan countries (WBC), in order to then promote a governance framework for multi-level research and development. The aim of the workshop was to present the results of previous activities and present possible scenarios of future economic, touristic, ecological, scientific-research valorization of the salt pan area by applying the RRI principle.

The activities so far within the project included the development of three scenarios that were presented at the workshop, which include assumptions for full valorization, partial valorization, or further stagnation. All three scenarios were presented, after which the participants had the opportunity to vote for the one that seemed most realistic to them.
