The '''Alpine Space Programme''' is a transnational cooperation programme in the framework of the [[European Union]] cohesion policy. In this programme national, regional and local stakeholders from the participating countries in the [[Alps|Alpine space]] cooperate on various transnational projects.
== Cooperation area ==
Geographically the Alpine Space Programme cooperation area comprises the Alpine core area (in the sense of the [[Alpine Convention]]), the surrounding foothills and lowlands of the
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] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100207015134/http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/cooperation-area/ |date=7 February 2010 }}, 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 language|French]], [[German language|German]], [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Slovene language|Slovene]].
== 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 was created in the framework of the European
This allows meaningful work between regions from several EU Member States on matters such as communication corridors, flood management, international business and research linkages, and the development of more viable and sustainable markets.<ref name="Transnational Cooperation">[http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/cooperation/transnational/index_en.htm Transnational Cooperation Programmes – Introduction], Official Introduction to its transnational cooperation programmes by the European Commission</ref>

== Three priorities ==
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] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100715214304/http://www.alpine-space.eu/about-the-programme/programme-in-short/ |date=15 July 2010 }}, Overview of the Alpine Space Programme on its official website</ref>
===Priority 1: Competitiveness and attractiveness===
One of the Alpine Space
===Priority 2: Accessibility and connectivity===
The second programme priority concerns accessibility and connectivity. The Alpine Space is both a centre of a dynamic economy and a transit area in a sensitive environment. At the same time it shows particular constraints in the fields of transport, communication and knowledge infrastructure. It faces natural constraints as regards accessibility and connectivity. The access to these public services however is crucial in order to meet the requirements of
===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>
== Operation ==
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
Details and tools for potential project partners can be found on the Alpine Space
