Balaton Group is Donella H. Meadows Indicators and Information Systems for Sustainable Development from 1998. Balaton Group The Balaton Group (The International Network of Resource Information Centers) is a global network of researchers and practitioners in fields related to systems and sustainability. The name “Balaton Group” refers to the Lake Balaton region of Hungary, where the Group was first constituted, and where most of the Group’s annual meetings have taken place. The Balaton Group aims to accelerate and deepen the world’s general understanding of systems, long-term perspective and commitment to achieving positive change. The Group believes that these factors are fundamental to
Lake Balaton coast, and nightlife on the south shore. The Tihany Peninsula is a historical district. Badacsony is a volcanic mountain and wine-growing region as well as a lakeside resort. The lake is almost completely surrounded by separated bike lanes to facilitate bicycle tourism. Although the peak season at the lake is the summer, Balaton is also frequented during the winter, when visitors go ice-fishing or even skate, sledge, or ice-sail on the lake if it freezes over. Sármellék International Airport provides air service to Balaton (although most service is only seasonal). Other resort towns include: Balatonalmádi, Balatonboglár, Balatonlelle, Fonyód and Vonyarcvashegy.
