Axis 3 - Institutions

Main challenges

In the Italian-Austrian border region there are still obstacles that make it difficult to grow together. These include not only language barriers but also differences in the areas of jurisdiction, administration, economy, social affairs and health. Cross-border cooperation between regional administrations and institutions rarely leads to integrated solutions and services, which leads to insufficient use of synergies. As a result, the planned activities should help to achieve a higher degree of regional integration and cross-border coordination and improve relations between neighbouring regions. This axis will focus on the following cross-border developments:

  • More systematic coordination or harmonisation in legal and administrative matters, particularly in areas that have not been adequately addressed at cross-border level so far;
  • Spatial and content expansion of successful pilot projects and expansion of jointly conceived projects;
  • Improved governance of cross-border cooperation initiatives and thus better visibility of the results achieved.

The cooperation potential of the programme area is seen in particular in the areas of civil protection and risk prevention, public safety and rescue, local public transport, education, health and social services.

In this axis, 25 projects with a total budget of 22,933,617.76 euros were approved in three calls.
