Alpine Space Programme Midterm Conference 16/17 June 2011 Grenoble, France How Does the Region of Rhône-Alpes Envisage Its Role on the European Stage? PROGRAMME AND PROJECT ABSTRACTS Alpine Space Programme MidTerm Conference 16/17 June 2011 Grenoble, France How does the Region of Rhône-Alpes envisage its role on the European stage? Rhône-Alpes is a major European region in terms of size, population, economic vitality and research potential. It pursues dynamic cooperation initiatives within the Four Motors for Europe (with Baden-Württemberg, Catalonia and Lombardy), the Alps-Mediterranean Euroregion (with its neighbour Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur as well as the Regions of Aosta Valley, Piedmont and Liguria in Italy), not to mention Malopolska in Poland and the South Danube Region in Hungary. The Region is also a partner of fi ve territorial cooperation programmes and is involved in the management of European Regional funds. These partnerships are a concrete manifestation of a Europe of the Regions that is fast becoming a reality. What part does the Region of Rhône-Alpes play in the Alpine Space Programme? Home to three mountain massifs - the Alps, Jura and Massif Central - Rhône-Alpes is not just a mountainous region, it is unquestionably an Alpine one which has to contend with the same mountain-specifi c problems as its neighbours (high tourist infl ux, environmental Jean-JacquesJean-Jack QUEYRANNE, concerns, accessibility, economic issues etc.).

Over and above the implementation of innovative governance methods, the projects undertaken provide an operational framework, consolidating the values which forge the Alpine identity of our regions that we are determined to protect and enhance. What are our future commitments? In a context marked by the world economic crisis and cuts in public funding, the European cohesion policy, which will will be launched after 2013, is an essential challenge for the region. With its Four Motors partner regions and via the Rhône-Alpes Executive Committee, our Region contributes signifi cantly to the European Commission’s debate on the shape of European programmes in the future. We are striving to ensure that the Alpine Space Programme post 2013 favours the development of our living space, maintains its quality and, with the support of those who live there, secure our mountains’ future. I am delighted that Rhône-Alpes is hosting the Alpine Space Programme MidTerm Conference. On June 16 and 17, we shall come together to refl ect upon the future of the Alps which we cherish and take full measure of the cooperative actions rolled out throughout the Alpine territories. 2 Why does European Territorial Cooperation play such an essential role for the territories? European programmes help territorial collectivities, socio-economic institutions and associations capitalize on their assets and complementarities while exploiting their synergies and strengthening their development strategies. This essential contribution, achieved through cross-border and transnational cooperation, promotes the harmonious development of territories and transforms our regions into competitive and sustainable living spaces. Midway through the 2007-2013 European Alpine Space Programme, where do you think we stand? The Alpine Space Programme has honoured its pledges by supporting a plethora of quality projects for the benefi t of the territories involving some 51 million Euros of ERDF funding. The outcomes so far have been positive for both the project holders and transnational institutional partners who have collaborated on the projects. As far as France is concerned, in conjunction with the General Secretariat for Regional Affairs (SGAR) under my authority and with co-fi nancing from the Regional Council, Europe backs and funds projects in the Jean-François CARENCO, fi eld of economic development, innovation and transportation as well as the fi ght against Prefect, the effects of climate change, for instance by encouraging energy-effi cient building and Prefecture of water management in the Alps. the Region Rhône-Alpes The project holders have succeeded in developing well-targeted and dynamic networks, gathering precious information from exchanges of experiences and good practices and performing truly innovative actions. As the coordination Prefect, in charge of carrying out French commitments under the Alpine Space Programme, I am delighted to host the MidTerm Conference which will spotlight the achievements of the 25 on-going projects and also shape the future of this cooperation initiative post 2013 in collaboration with our partners from Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia and Liechtenstein. Are the French partners strongly involved in the programme? More than 30 French partners from the associate regions of Alsace, Franche-Comté, Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur are participating in the 25 projects which were launched following the fi rst two calls for projects.

  • EU Strategy for the Alpine Region
    BRIEFING EU strategy for the Alpine region SUMMARY Launched in January 2016, the European Union strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) is the fourth and most recent macro-regional strategy to be set up by the European Union. One of the biggest challenges facing the seven countries and 48 regions involved in the EUSALP is that of securing sustainable development in the macro-region, especially in its resource-rich, but highly vulnerable core mountain area. The Alps are home to a vast array of animal and plant species and constitute a major water reservoir for Europe. At the same time, they are one of Europe's prime tourist destinations, and are crossed by busy European transport routes. Both tourism and transport play a key role in climate change, which is putting Alpine natural resources at risk. The European Parliament considers that the experience of the EUSALP to date proves that the macro-regional concept can be successfully applied to more developed regions. The Alpine strategy provides a good example of a template strategy for territorial cohesion; as it simultaneously incorporates productive areas, mountainous and rural areas, and some of the most important and highly developed cities in the EU. Although there is a marked gap between urban and rural mountainous areas, the macro-region shows a high level of socio-economic interdependence, confirmed by recent research. Disparities (in terms of funding and capacity) between participating countries, a feature that has caused challenges for other EU macro-regional strategies, are less of an issue in the Alpine region, but improvements are needed and efforts should be made in view of the new 2021-2027 programming period.

  • Towards More Resilient Economies in Alpine Regions Riccardo Brozzi, Lucija Lapuh, Janez Nared, Thomas Streifeneder D E R a N
    Acta geographica Slovenica, 55-2, 2015, 339–350 towaRds MoRe Resilient eConoMies in alPine Regions Riccardo Brozzi, Lucija Lapuh, Janez Nared, Thomas Streifeneder D E R A N Z E N A J Regional economies are confronted with constant transformation, which is even more radical in times of economic crises. The picture shows the Schiffbau – the premises of former shipbuilding company in Zurich that were transformed into theatre. Riccardo Brozzi, Lucija Lapuh, Janez Nared, Thomas Streifeneder, Towards more resilient economies in Alpine regions Towards more resilient economies in Alpine regions DOI: http: //dx.doi.org/10.3986/AGS.916 UDC: 911.3:338.124.4(234.3) COBISS: 1.01 ABSTRACT: The economic crisis the world has faced since 2007 has had devastating effects on many regions to various degrees. How regions respond to economic shock depends on regional economic structure and performance, administrative capacity, resources, human capital, social capital, and other factors, and is per - ceived as resilience: the ability of a regional economy to withstand, absorb, or overcome an external economic stress. Because one of the future strategic goals for the Alpine Space Programme area is fostering its resilience, we studied the performance of Alpine regions in the pre - and post -crisis period in order to assess the effects of the economic crisis and to provide basic directions on how to make the Alps more resilient in the future . The results have revealed differences among three selected groups of regions as well as some country -spe - cific characteristics of the regional response that can generally be seen in the weaker performance of some Italian and Slovenian regions.

  • EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) ITALIAN PRESIDENCY
    February 2019 EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) ITALIAN PRESIDENCY 2019 Work Programme 1. Introduction: The Alpine Region1 The Alpine Region is among the largest natural, economic and productive areas in Europe, with over 80 million inhabitants, and among the most attractive tourist regions, welcoming millions of guests per year. While trade, businesses and industry in the Alpine Region are concentrated in the main areas of settlement on the outskirts of the Alps and in the large Alpine valleys along the major traffic routes, over 40 % of the Region is not or not permanently inhabited. Due to the Alpine Region’s unique geographic and natural characteristics, it is particularly affected by several of the challenges arising in the 21st century: Economic globalisation requires sustainable and continuously high competitiveness as well as the capacity to innovate; Demographic change leads to an ageing population and outward migration of highly qualified labour; Global climate change already has noticeable effects on the environment, biodiversity and living conditions for the inhabitants of the Alpine Region; A reliable and sustainable energy supply must be ensured in the parts of the Region which are difficult to access; As a transit region in the heart of Europe and due to its geographic features, the Alpine Region requires sustainable and custom-fit traffic concepts; The Alpine Region is to be preserved as a unique natural and cultural environment. 1 This description part comes from the Bavarian 2017 Work Programme 1 February 2019 The different characteristics of peripheral areas, centers of different sizes, and metropolises, require a dialogue on a basis of equality and the development of an alliance aimed at sustainable development while respecting its needs.

    TRANSNATIONAL AND INTERREGIONAL PROGRAMMES OF EUROPEAN TERRITORIAL COOPERATION IN SLOVENIA 2014—2020 INTERREG V: CENTRAL EUROPE , ALPINE SPACE , MEDITERRANEAN , ADRION , DANUBE , INTERREG EUROPE , URBACT *, ESPON *, INTERACT *National Authority in Slovenia is Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning I. Slovenia in transnational and interregional programmes of European Territorial Cooperation 2014—2020 In the programming period 2014–2020, Slovenia cooperates in five transnational programmes (Alpine Space, Central Europe, Mediterranean, Danube and Adriatic-Ionian Programme - ADRION ) and in four interregional programmes ( INTERACT III , INTERREG EUROPE , URBACT III , ESPON 2020). There is EUR 1.386 million from European Regional Development Fund ( ERDF ) available within these programmes in the entire programming period ( EUR 872 million for transnational programmes and EUR 514 million for interregional programmes). Funds are granted by the managing authorities based on transnational and interregional calls for proposals and decisions of monitoring committees, which include representatives of all participating countries. The selection process is supported by national coordination. ERDF co-financing for Slovenian project partners is up to 85% of eligible expenditure and is based on reimbursements, allowing time for national verification of eligible costs, ac- tivities and public procurement procedures. ERDF funds are transferred directly to the lead partners, which in turn make transfers to the project partners. All managing authorities and other joint structures of transnational and interregional programmes are located outside Slovenia. The Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy acts as National Authority and National Control. In case of URBACT III and ESPON 2020, these roles are performed by the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning.

Reference to the Alpine Convention as a protective convention for the geographical Alpine perimeter, which is not sufficient for the scale of a regional development strategy • Landowners should be included as actors, without them no strategy can be implemented. Chapter 4 should emphasize this aspect more. • Does the macro region bring unnecessary complexity in the Alpine Space Programme? It is hoped that the process of this new approach of the new discussion also brings a new momentum. • The role of the expert report for the 2014-2020 programming process is seen as incompatible in comparison with the EU objectives and targets.
