SEI Tallinn Centre`s agenda is driven by local, regional (Central Eastern Europe) and international interests in environmental research. It manages and links SEI know-how on the promotion of sustainable development, environmental protection, nature conservation, environment-related policy and energy conservation-related environmental studies with the relevant studies in the region. SEI-Tallinn has created working contacts with state and local authorities, the academic community, NGOs and the general public within Baltic States and other CEE countries. A significant part of its work concentrates on assisting the Estonian Government with sustainability issues and in drafting environmental legislation. The Centre's Policy & Institutions Programme is concerned with systematically analyzing and providing advice on how to modify policy, institutions, governance and assessment processes, including on strategic assessment and public participation.(Original source: http://www.sei.se/index.php?page=tallinn)
