Workshop – Shaping the Carpathian Region in the EU Strategy for the Danube Region

The Workshop, organized by UNEP Vienna – Interim Secretariat of the Carpathian Convention with the assistance of the European Academy Bolzano, aims at further profiling the Carpathian Region in the EUSDR, and at providing inputs to the consultation process on the implementation of the Strategy and its Operational Programme 2014-2020.

During the workshop we would like to present and discuss the specificities, problems, challenges and opportunities of the Carpathian countries’ and regions to make sure that they will be considered in the framework of the EU macro-regional policies and funding programmes. We would also like to discuss the interaction with other macro-regional strategies relevant for the Carpathian area, such as the Alpine and the Baltic Strategies, suggested by the European Council in the “Conclusions on the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region” on 13 April 2011. 

Workshop will be organized within the 3rd Annual Forum EUSDR 2014 at the Vienna City Hall on 27 June 2014 from 12.00 to 13.00
