This policy round table aims to

• Raise awareness about pharmaceuticals in the environment in the Baltic Sea Region as a multi-sectoral issue that needs to be addressed at multiple levels.
• Provide a shared understanding of the policy challenges but also solutions to these for addressing pharmaceuticals in the environment.
• Identify priorities for action in follow-up to the European Commission Strategic Approach to Pharmaceuticals in the environment.
• Share best practice and identify innovative solutions that could be harmonized across the Baltic Sea Region.

The workshop programme features are based on most recent transnational cooperation in a number of transnational projects under the umbrella of the BSR- Pharma platform, a flagship in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, EUSBSR as well as in on-going cooperation within HELCOM related to PIE.
