The '''Alpine Space Programme''' is a transnational cooperation programme in the framework of the [[
== Cooperation area ==
Geographically the Alpine Space Programme cooperation area comprises the [[Alps|Alpine core area]], the surrounding foothills and lowlands of the “peri-Alpine belt”, a small part of the Mediterranean coastal area including the Adriatic and parts of the great river valleys of Danube, Po, Adige, Rhône and Rhine.▼
In the cooperation area live about 70 million inhabitants on a surface of approximately 450.000 km<sup>2</sup> <ref name="Cooperation Area">[http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/cooperation-area/ Cooperation Area], Official Alpine Space Programme website information on the programme's cooperation area</ref>. Several different European languages are spoken in this region, among others French, German, Italian and Slovene.▼

== The European policy framework ==▼
The Alpine Space Programme 2007-2013 is part of the European Territorial Cooperation objective. The European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) has been developed from the Community Initiative [[Interreg|INTERREG]]. [[Interreg|INTERREG]] was created in the framework of the European Union’s cohesion policy as an incentive for cooperation within the European Union. Cohesion policy encourages regions and cities from different EU Member States to work together and learn from each other through joint programmes, projects and networks <ref name="Cohesion Policy">[http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/cooperation/index_en.htm European Territorial Cooperation - Introduction], Official Introduction to the European Territorial Cooperation by the European Commission</ref>. In the Structural Fund period 2007-2013 the Community Initiative [[Interreg|INTERREG]] has been upgraded to the "European Territorial Cooperation Objective". In the current programme period 2007-13 the ETC objective covers three types of programmes: cross-border cooperation, transnational cooperation and interregional cooperation. The Alpine Space Programme is one of the 13 programmes of the transnational cooperation objective. The transnational programmes add an important extra European dimension to regional development, developed from analysis at a European level, leading to agreed priorities and a coordinated strategic response.▼

The Alpine Space Programme identifies three thematic fields of cooperation, called priorities. With these priorities the programme supports the Lisbon and Gothenburg strategies towards growth, employment and sustainable development with a strong focus on the cross cutting theme innovation <ref name="ASP overview">[http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/programme-in-short/ Alpine Space Programme Overview], Overview of the Alpine Space Programme on its official website</ref>.▼

===Priority 3: Environment and risk prevention===
The third and final programme priority is environment and risk prevention. The Alpine space is known all over the world for its rich landscapes, cultural heritage and biodiversity. The natural environment and the natural heritage as a fundament for the living conditions and the economy therefore have to be protected. Integrated approaches to plan, manage and develop these resources can contribute to this. The programme therefore wants the operations under this priority to be focused on the management and safeguard of environmental resources and cultural heritage as well as on natural and technological hazards. Furthermore, the Alps are much earlier and more strongly affected by the climate change than the rest of Europe. Coping with the various effects of climate change and its related impacts on settlement, infrastructure, cultural heritage and human life is a key challenge for the Alpine Space.<ref name="Priority 3">[http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/priorities-thematic-fields/environment-and-risk-prevention/ Priority 3: Environment and Risk Prevention] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100204233449/http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/priorities-thematic-fields/environment-and-risk-prevention/ |date=4 February 2010 }}, Official Alpine Space Programme information on its Priority 3</ref>
To maintain and enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of the Alpine region the Alpine Space Programme co-finances transnational cooperation projects. The programme launches calls for project proposals, allowing potential project partnerships to apply for. For each call, Terms of References (ToR), containing framework information for the application are published. These ToRs and the launch of a new call are published on the programme’s website. A project partnership has to consist of project partners coming from at least three different Partner States. Different types of actors can become project partners: public sector institutions and agencies at all levels; education and research units; organisations representing enterprises; chambers of commerce and industry; public service and transport providers; NGOs and agencies working in the fields of natural and cultural as well as renewable energy management <ref name="Potential Partners">[http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/erdf-co-funding/ Availability for ERDF], Official Alpine Space Programme information on potential project participants' availability for funding</ref>.▼
