Fit for Cooperation
This project’s main objective is the strengthening of integration and cross-border issues on “regional thinking” and “regional mainstream”. This way, EGTC and INTERREG pursue the same goal, to succeed in rooting in everyone's minds the meaning of cooperation, while expanding the horizons. Collaborators / district officials should be adequately trained in a cross-border collaboration approach: they will have to be able to understand the benefits and use the available tools. In order to reach this goal, some means will have to be developed. On the one hand, it is necessary to widen
the competence on the EU, on the other hand, language barriers must be overcome through specific language training courses. Recipients: Public administrations in the territory of the EGTC "Euregio Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino" and EGTC Euregio Without Borders: - Offices of the Regions, Austrian Länders, Italian Autonomous Provinces - city councils and municipal administrations - administrations of public entities (universities, territorial communities, municipal consortia, etc.) - Chambers of commerce and labor - possibly entities belonging to public property with public service obligations (hospitals, energy companies, etc.) - possibly state administrations (State Police, etc.) The results of "FitCo” will be a series of professionally elaborated cooperation projects, they could then be directly implemented onto the program area or presented in future European calls.
