The issues studied range from mobility and tourism to regional development, agriculture and forestry, energy and climate change. The lecturers are all internationally acknowledged experts in their field.
Besides the lectures working groups are to be set up to develop projects on the subject of local recreation in the region of Liechtenstein - Werdenberg/CH. The area covered by the project comprises around 65,000 inhabitants and 45,500 jobs. The project work is to examine ways in which to use local recreation measures to enhance the region's appeal for those who live there, and how to raise the quality of life and the potential for the region's economy.

It is aimed at all participants who are interested in an interdisciplinary transnational approach to issues relating to the Alps and have a university or higher education degree or professional experience in the relevant fields. The course languages are German and English, with simultaneous interpreting provided for the lectures.
