🏔 The Central Mountains project, which is financed under the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme and aims at improving cooperation in mountain regions, is currently in the middle phase of its development. Right now, various project partners are developing pilot actions related to cooperation for sustainable development in the cross-border areas of the Alps and Carpathians, with the aim of changing the stakeholders’ mindset towards more cooperation and coordination of actions. 🤝 ISIG is coordinating WP2 - Joint actions across borders for better cooperation and testing governance structures and processes, supporting all involved partners, with the contribution of CIPRA and Eurac Research, who are mentoring the pilot actions. 📄 The deliverable "Joint approach and methodology for pilot planning, implementation and evaluation", created by ISIG with the support of all the partners involved, provides common guidelines for all actions, related to the active engagement of stakeholders in their context of action, methods of cooperation and exchange between Central Mountains partners, and the monitoring and evaluation of the actions carried out. 🔗 This last aspect is particularly important because it will allow the bridging of WP2 activities with WP3, where the solutions tested in WP2 will be analysed and capitalised at various levels, from citizens and local communities to policy-makers. 🔎 During the next weeks, we will present all the pilot actions under implementation, from the Alps to the Carpathians. Stay tuned!

I was privileged to represent the Industry Skills Advisory Council NT (ISACNT) at the 13th Northern Territory Major Projects Conference. The conference was packed with insightful presentations and discussions on the major projects across the Northern Territory. It also highlighted the numerous opportunities across the different regions in the Territory. Finally, a key focus was the need for sustainable investment in infrastructure projects. This will unlock the untapped opportunities in the NT, promote employment opportunities, and drive the growth and development of local communities.
