Explicit and consensus based definition of sustainability have to be elaborated as an input to future efforts.

This should be stimulated by innovation and research and development programs and pilot project.One of them is the „Virtual Region” project, which will probably play an important role for our better future.Main thesis of the paper will be clearly illustrated during the presentation to the audience.
