  • AEBR Cross Border Award "Sail of Papenburg"
    AEBR Cross Border Award "Sail of Papenburg" Main idea On the occasion of the Annual Conference and General Assembly 2002 (Papenburg/Groningen) of the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR), the Ems Dollart Region (EDR) endowed the AEBR 'Sail of +6 Papenburg' Cross-Border Award. The award honours particular achievements in the area of cross-border cooperation, e.g. in the cultural, economic, institutional, environmental and social sphere in a border or cross-border region. The award honours and motivates: it honours outstanding programmes / strategies, projects and actions within the scope of cross-border co- operation that preferably can be seen as exemplary. At the same time it should motivate border and cross-border regions to actively contribute to a better understanding and better relations at the borders between the nations throughout Europe. Thereby European integration at the borders will be directly promoted. Although the Sail of Papenburg is above all a prestige award, in exceptional circumstances prize money may be granted to financially support efforts made by a particular region. Presentation by AEBR Target criteria: Honoured are outstanding achievements in and / or by a border and cross- border region (subnational entities). In principle only organisations aiming to boost direct neighbourly cooperation along a national border are eligible for the award1. They include in particular institutionalised cross- border associations (eg. Euroregions and similar structures). Membership in the European Union or AEBR is not required. Applicants may submit cross-border projects (individual and packages), measures and / or also overall achievements / efforts (programmes / strategies) in a border or cross-border region. The specific guidelines for every year (motto, individual project or programme / strategy etc.) are settled by the AEBR.

  • Master Thesis Multinational Villages in the Euroregion Rhine-Waal
    Master Thesis Maarten Goossens S4615646 Radboud University Nijmegen Human Geography: Conflicts, Territories and Identities June 2019 Multinational villages in the Euroregion Rhine-Waal Supervised by: Martin van der Velde And the thing called Europe has become a patchwork of colourful places, and everyone is a stranger as soon as they stick their nose out of their village. There are more strangers than inhabitants in this God blessed continent... Everyone considers their business to be the most important one and no one is planning to sacrifice anything. First of all, to start with, we draw a demarcation line. We split up. We need a boundary. Because we are all for ourselves. But an earth bends under these foolish people, a soil under them and a heaven above them. The borders run criss-cross Europe. In the long term, however, no one can separate people - not borders and not soldiers - if they just don't want to. (Kurt Tuchulsky alias Peter Panter, Berliner Volkszeitung, 27-06-1920) ii Preface The last few months I crossed the Dutch-German border on a daily basis. I did so in a bus, filled with school children speaking Dutch one moment, German the other as if it were one and the same language for them. Often with international students and other people from all over the world making their way from the one side of the border to the other. On my daily trip from Nijmegen to Kleve I sometimes forgot where I was, or fell asleep, and then suddenly noticed I already had crossed the border.

  • 41. the Meuse–Rhine Euroregion: a Laboratory for Police and Judicial Cooperation in the European Union*
    41. THE MEUSE–RHINE EUROREGION: A LABORATORY FOR POLICE AND JUDICIAL COOPERATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION* 1. Introduction Over the past few decades, economic and social integration within the European Union (EU) has rapidly gained momentum. This integration has been largely facili- tated by the Schengen Implementation Convention of 1990, which abolished border controls between the member states.1 However, this easing of border controls has also improved and expanded the opportunities for criminals to engage in cross-border illegal activities. Therefore, police and judicial cooperation has now become a high priority on the European Union’s agenda. The authorities in urbanized border areas are usually the first to be confronted by new developments in cross-border crime. As a result, opportunities for law- enforcement cooperation are quickly grasped, and practical innovations are devised as far as the conventions permit. Hence, border areas often serve as ‘laboratories’ for police and judicial cooperation. A clear example of this is the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion, located in the border areas of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. From a scholarly point of view, jurists have largely dominated the discussion about police and judicial cooperation (Corstens and Pradel 2002; Peers 2000; Sabatier 2001). This is easily explained by the fact that up until now criminologists have con- ducted relatively little empirical research on this topic. However, the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion is an exception to the rule, as several studies about police and judicial cooperation with regard to the area have been published over the years (Hofstede and Faure 1993; Spapens 2002, 2008a; Spapens and Fijnaut 2005).

  • Cross-Border Co-Operation in the Euroregions at the Polish-Czech and Polish-Slovak Borders
    Europ. Countrys. · 2· 2013 · p. 102-114 DOI: 10.2478/euco-2013-0007 European Countryside MENDELU CROSS-BORDER CO-OPERATION IN THE EUROREGIONS AT THE POLISH-CZECH AND POLISH-SLOVAK BORDERS Sylwia Dołzbłasz1 Received 18 January 2013; Accepted 12 April 2013 Abstract: The paper deals with border regions in Poland, which are regarded as a specific type of peripheral areas. The aim of this paper was to assess the Polish-Czech and Polish-Slovak border cooperation at the local level and to compare it to the Polish- German border. The studies were based on the analysis of the microprojects qualified for implementation under the Microprojects Fund within INTERREG IIIA programmes. Particular emphasis was put on the type characteristic of the projects and institutional structure of beneficiaries. Moreover, the relationships between analysed features were studied. The spatial distribution of projects was also examined. The role of Euroregions in the process of cross-border co-operation implementation was described. The analysis of the microprojects was carried out for the Poland’s southern border and the western one, as well as for particular Euroregions. Key Words: cross-border cooperation, border areas, Euroregions, microprojects, Interreg, peripheral areas, transborder relations Abstract: Artykuł podejmuje problematykę polskich regionów przygranicznych, które są postrzegane jako specyficzny typ obszarów peryferyjnych. Celem opracowania była ocena polsko-czeskiej i polsko-słowackiej współpracy transgranicznej prowadzonej na szczeblu lokalnym. Wyniki były odniesione do współpracy realizowanej na granicy polsko-niemieckiej. Badanie oparte było o analizę mikroprojektów zakwalifikowanych do implementacji w ramach Funduszu Mikroprojektów programów INTERREG IIIA. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na strukturę rodzajową projektów, a także strukturę beneficjentów.

  • Hydrodynamics and Morphology in the Ems/Dollard Estuary: Review of Models, Measurements, Scientific Literature, and the Effects of Changing Conditions
    1 Hydrodynamics and Morphology in the Ems/Dollard Estuary: Review of Models, Measurements, Scientific Literature, and the Effects of Changing Conditions Stefan A. Talke Huib E. de Swart University of Utrecht Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research Utrecht (IMAU) January 25, 2006 IMAU Report # R06-01 2 Executive Summary / Abstract The Ems estuary has constantly changed over the past centuries both from man-made and natural influences. On the time scale of thousands of years, sea level rise has created the estuary and dynamically changed its boundaries. More recently, storm surges created the Dollard sub-basin in the 14th -15th centuries. Beginning in the 16th century, diking and reclamation of land has greatly altered the surface area of the Ems estuary, particularly in the Dollard. These natural and anthropogenic changes to the surface area of the Ems altered the flow patterns of water, the tidal characteristics, and the patterns of sediment deposition and erosion. Since 1945, reclamation of land has halted and the borders of the Ems estuary have changed little. Sea level rise has continued, and over the past 40 years the rate of increase in mean high water (MHW) along the German coast has accelerated to 40 cm/ century. Climate has varied on a decadal time scale due to long-term variations in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which controls precipitation, temperature, and the direction and magnitude of winds. Between 1960 and 1990 the most intense variation in the NAO index on record was observed. As a result the magnitude and frequency of storm surges increased, and mean wave heights increased at 1-2 cm/year.
