In 2009 the European Union adopted the new strategy for the Baltic Sea region. Subsequently the European Commission adopted an action plan with flagship projects in order to implement the strategy.  

At the General Conference in Kristiansand it was decided that member cities and commissions should send proposals which flagship projects they would like to join. The number of proposals were sent by cities and commissions to the secretariat, the list of all proposals is below. 

At the meeting in Naestved, 17 February 2010, the Executive Board went through the flagship proposals sent in by the member cities and commissions. 

The Board decided to select four flagship projects and lead partners representing UBC as follows: 

5.1 "Anticipate regional and local impacts of climate change through research" - Umeå

8.1 "Promote young entrepreneurs" - Commission on Education + Paide 

8.4 "Make the Baltic Sea an Eco-efficient region" - Commission on Environment 

11.1 "Complete the agreed priority transport infrastructures" - Liepaja 

UBC has submitted its access to participate in above projects to the project coordinators at the state level.
