It is part of the EU Community Initiative Alpine Space Programme and marks the actual completion of the 2000-2006 programme phase (Interreg IIIB) as well as the launch of the new programme phase 2007-2013. The event is an opportunity to find out more about the new objectives and priorities of the Alpine Space Programme and to exchange information and experience.
The Programme's political dimension is to be explained in the course of plenary sessions. Guest speakers will illustrate what is genuinely new about this European Transnational Cooperation 2007-2013. Theme-based platforms will provide participants with opportunities to showcase project ideas, and there will be a project market and field trips to give an insight into current projects. Around 350 participants are expected, and the conference languages will be German, French, Italian, Slovene and English.
Similar events are to be held at the national level in Vienna/A and in the Aosta Valley/I on 4 and 5 June, in Slovenia on 7 and 8 June, and in Neu-Ulm/D on 12 and 13 July.
