The Pan-European Corridor III, the axis connecting Eastern and Western Europe, plays a crucial role in the successful realisation of the single European market and a future-oriented positioning of European regions in the global economy. Actors along the corridor have learnt that development of the transport infrastructure system is not only a cost factor, but those resources should be used effectively and that current decisions influence future structural and economic development. It also has an impact on neighbouring regions. The project partners want to use out their location on the east/west axis across Europe to achieve a competitive advantage. The project partnership reflects the complete chain of regions within Corridor III, traversing from Germany through Poland to Ukraine. These regions represent the EU at national as well as regional and local level. All project partners are involved in development, planning of regional economies and transport infrastructure, and the preparation and planning of investments. Expected Results: The EU-CORe III project should contribute to integrating and co-ordinating development of Pan-European Corridor III to become one of the most competitive and future-oriented transport corridors in the European economic space. The main objective of the project is to improve and develop the transport infrastructure along Corridor III by transnational co-ordination and harmonisation of economic development, improved transport policies and planning activities under consideration of European development aspects. The project will give practical support to the implementation of a transnational strategy at local and regional level. Special attention will be paid to regions which intersect with other transport corridors. An information and qualification network of relevant actors which enables all actors to plan and build a transport infrastructure according to the needs of economic development and ESDP, as well as to fulfil sustainability and the criteria of efficiency will be initialised.
