Better access to modern information and communication technology and services is a prerequisite for an integrated development of the smaller, rural-dominated regions of Burgenlandkreis (DE), Burgenland (AT), Hajdu-Bihar (HU) and South Moravia (CZ), and for linking into the global economy. In the framework of the established trans-European network of partner regions with similar profiles, the TRANs-IT project contributed to this objective by raising awareness of IT applications and by supporting local and regional actors in making use of these opportunities. TRANs-IT joined the participating regions in solving the problems through a transfer of knowledge, changing the experiences and application of methodologies and its implementations, i.e. pilot projects. The two specific objectives were: 1) implementation of an innovative, web-based development and commercialisation of Technology Parks and Business Sites for innovative new locations for businesses, and 2) the more efficient promotion of newly developed wellness offers through a common Internet platform. Achievements: Obtained outcomes were: - Preparation of a baseline analysis for Technology Parks (TP) and Business Sites (BS), - Elaboration of a Regional Business Survey (RBS), - Draft guidelines on quality management of TP and BS, - Internet presentation of the finished project (www.transit-eu.net), - Issuance of a project newsletter twice a year, - Joint Internet platform to ensure communication among all project partners, - At least one new innovative wellness product in combination with offers for learning supported by ICT (event learning, etc.) per partner region, - Elaborated guidelines on quality, seal of quality for new wellness offers in all partner regions, - Feasibility study for hotels as a regional centre of wellness in a trans-European context (one per region).
