The CrC Ge.S.Di.Mont. invites all mountain stakeholders to participate in the “The Alps” thematic workshop, organized in the framework of the Annual Forum. The seminar will represent a concrete work session on the role that the mountains could play at European level, in a historical period that urgently requires the definition of new development models, based on the principles of sustainability, for which the mountains could be a unique laboratory and strategic.
The main challenge now is to highlight this opportunity for policy makers and public institutions in order to convince them to pay more attention to the role of the mountains in their National Strategic Agendas that are currently under discussion, in view of the next European programming period.
