But there are still challenges that must be faced and which go beyond national boundaries: trade flows, traffic congestion, ecosystems, climate change, or pollution. This is why two years ago Alpine Stated and Regions have decided together to reinforce the region’s assets by setting up the EU  Strategy for the Alpine Region. . The quick start of its implementation has raised many expectations amongst stakeholders.

Mutual stereotypes between urban and mountain regions in Europe Macro-regional strategies such as EUSALP are transforming regions. But do they also change the way those regions are perceived? The relationship between mountain and metropolitan regions is characterised by reciprocal images, which also influence the development in the ‘extended Alps’, their growth and innovation. Based on the study « Interaction between mountain regions and metropolises », the workshop will address the potential of a critical questioning of mutual perceptions and expectations in the relation between metropolitan regions and mountain areas. Furthermore it will explore their impact for the specific fields of the EUSALP Action Groups.

Sectoral synergies seem possible, for example concerning mountain forests, but what could be appropriate strategies for practical implementation? “Going local” – the current trend of community-led local development takes up the idea of mobilizing local communities and organizations to achieving overall goals in an integrated bottom-up approach. Could the local level in future be also the key to cope successfully with the big societal challenges of deploying a Green Infrastructure and dealing with natural hazards in times of necessary climate adaptation? The workshop will connect local stakeholders and decision makers to Alpine experts. It will give an impression of crucial sectoral topics, possible synergies and innovative solutions on the local level. Together conclusions and indications for further activities will be identified and a vision of how ideal cooperation mechanisms in the Alpine Region might look like will be initiated.

Specifically, the project intends to first examine the current state of play of digitalisation at regional level. In a second step, an open source Exchange platform as well as individual tools will be developed and tested with the involvement of different stakeholders. Eventually, the tools are meant to be made available to all villages and cities. The aims of this workshop are to get a common understanding of the concept of Smart Villages, to refine the activities of the strategic initiative of Smart villages, to create synergies between the three concerned Action Groups and to investigate the potential for cooperation. The workshop further aims to communicate to participants the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation in the Alps and to provide concrete solutions, to identify ways of spreading the concrete solutions to other areas in the alpine arc not actively involved in the EUSALP-projects and to show the added value of the EUSALP process to the public.
