'''Alpine Space Programme -''' ''European Territorial Cooperation 2007–2013''

The '''Alpine Space Programme''' is a transnational cooperation programme in the framework of the [[European union|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. The major objective of the Alpine Space Programme is to make the cooperation area more attractive and competitive through joint activities in those subject areas in which transnational cooperation is required for sustainable solutions.

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.

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>.
