We can determine the impact of demographic aging on sustainable development as well as examine the relationships between the institutional equity and sustainable development policy effectiveness. Additionally, we prepare recommendations for the reduction of economic and social disparities among population in the context of sustainable regional development. We evaluate how to encourage businesses to implement more harmonized innovations in order to reach circular economy goals. Now we actively involved in the process of searching partners for HORIZON 2020.
