In 2021, the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) celebrates its 10th anniversary: 10 years of transnational cooperation in the fields of mobility and transport, energy, tourism and culture, protection of water, nature and biodiversity, education and labour market, competitiveness, strengthening of institutional cooperation and security.
The call for the yearly European Commission award for the best and most innovative EU-funded projects in regional development is now open until the 9th of May. The REGIOSTARS are awarded to projects in five thematic categories (smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, urban development and a topic of the year).
Thus projects in the following 5 categories can be submitted:
A new brochure on the first major output of the LinkingDanube project gives an overview on how linking services can be implemented in a multi-stakeholder environment. The brochure explains the technical and organisational concept for establishing a transnational, multimodal travel information service across borders. It points out the significance with regard to EU policy and legislation while setting out the benefits for both the service providers and the users.
The idea of creating such a manual arised at a Conference held in September. Since the EUSAIR Strategy is higly compley, the promotion of the Streategys aims, added value and achivements is hard. The Communication manual helps improving our understanding toward the Strategy, and defining our role and responsibility through the process of macro-regional communication.
The European Comittee of Regions has published a brochure on examples of good practices by EGTCs across Europe. The publication presents exemplary initiatives in the field of healthcare, transport, tourism, nature protection among others from all over the European Unioin.
