Integrated territorial strategies for Services of General Interest (INTESI)

Start date: Dec 16, 2015, End date: Dec 15, 2018,

Description (EN): Services of general interest (SGI) are in the competence of authorities at different levels. Up to now, authorities and the service providers tend to have a strictly sectorial approach to SGI which leads to isolated solutions, neither taking benefit of potential synergies nor optimizing the expense of public money. Therefore there is a need for a better horizontal ...

SedAlp - Sediment management in Alpine basins: integrating sediment continuum, risk mitigation and hydropower (SedAlp)

Start date: Aug 31, 2012, End date: Jun 29, 2015,

SedAlp contributes to integrated management of sediment transport in Alpine basins directed to an effective reduction of sediment-related risk while promoting the enhancement of riverine ecosystems and reducing the impacts of hydropower plants (balancing the implementation of EU Directives e.g. RES, Floods and WFD). The project includes piloting actions in various representative Alpine river basin ...

Sustainable Integrated Management of International River Corridors in SEE Countries  (SEE RIVER)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Sep 29, 2014,

Rivers in SEE region are often threatened by unsustainable use, increasing human pressure, and problems of increased floods and droughts driven by climate change. Inhabitation of floodplain areas, hydropower utilization, navigation, gravel and sand extraction, unsustainable tourism etc. lead to changes in morphology, increased pollution, degradation of aquatic habitats, as well as land use conflic ...

Implementation of MONITRAF (Monitoring of road traffic related effects in the Alpine Space and common measures) (iMONiTRAF!)

Start date: Jun 30, 2009, End date: Jun 29, 2012,

The strong increase of total transalpine traffic and its further growth is a heavy strain for Alpine regions. Effective measures are necessary for enabling a sustainable development.iMONITRAF!s objectives are to develop common strategies for transalpine traffic and to put them into action. A long-lasting political network shall be established, which serves as common voice of the Alpine regions and ...

actical Use of MONITORing in Natural Disaster Management (MONITOR II)

Start date: May 31, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012,

Management of natural hazards constitutes a common challenge in the SEES. Until now, neither hazard mapping nor contingency planning have been transnationally coordinated and defined in a sufficient manner. These gaps will be tackled in MONITOR II with the development of a common methodology and a CSA ("Continuous Situation Awareness") system. The integration of monitoring systems facilitates peri ...

Climate Change Adaptation by Spatial Planning in the Alpine Space (CLISP)

Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Aug 30, 2011,

Climate change impacts, esp. growing risks from natural hazards, increasingly threaten settlements, infrastructure, lives and future development in the Alpine Space. CLISP aims at preventing increasing climate change-related spatial conflicts, vulnerability, damages and costs by providing "climate proof" spatial planning solutions as a substantial basis for future sustainable territorial developme ...

Adaptation to Climate Change in the Alpine Space (AdaptAlp)

Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Aug 30, 2011,

Climate change is to a large extent constituted by increasing temperatures and changed precipitation patterns. Any change of these critical factors has implications on the frequency & extent of natural hazards. The uncertainties and the increase of natural hazards due to the impacts of CC requires concerted management in the Alpine Space. AdaptAlp will improve information on impacts of CC esp. on ...

Exchanging know-how and transferring experience among border regions in Europe (CHANGE ON BORDERS)

Start date: Oct 31, 2003, End date: Dec 30, 2007,

Since 1990, the EU has provided financial support for internal and external cross-border cooperation, helping to establish cross-border programme structures and to implement numerous cross-border projects along the EU’s internal and external borders. Despite the progress made, there are still a large number of cross-border problems, especially along the current (and future) external borders of the ...

Hazard Monitoring for Risk Assessment and Risk Communication (MONITOR)

Start date: Dec 31, 2005, End date: Dec 30, 2007,

The infrastructure in mountainous areas or regions with seismic activity is greatly threatened by hazards such as landslides, avalanches or earthquakes. MONITOR offers a basis for a standardised risk management of land-use activities threatened by natural hazards. The project's target groups and their regions vary in their risk exposure and their hazard potentials. MONITOR takes into account a bro ...
