European funding of crossborder cooperations – is there more than money?
(gemeinsam mit Dipl. Geogr. Roswitha Ruidisch)
Abstract: The presentation focuses to the Community Initiative INTERREG III (2000-2006), financed by European Funds for Regional Development (EFRE), and in particular to the strand A cross-border cooperation. The INTERREG III Initiative was designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion in the European Union by promoting cross-border (strand A), trans-national (strand B) and interregional (strand C) cooperation. In the current programming period (2007-2013) the new cohesion policy defines European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) as the third objective, which continue the INTERREG initiative in the three areas of cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation. Carinthia is involved in the INTERREG Programmes Austria-Slovenia and Austria-Italy. In the period from 2000 to 2006 between Carinthia and Slovenia 106 projects with a total volume of nearly 28 Mio € and between Carinthia and Italy 58 projects with about 9,5 Mio € are realised. The analysis of INTERREG III A projects aims to different qualitative effects of cross-border projects and EU funding in the border areas. Among the main questions are the interrelation between temporary INTERREG projects and sustainable cross-border cooperation activities and the role of key-persons in the project and cooperation development. Based on a two-stage analysis – initially a quantitative and statistical analysis of all projects including a questioning of lead partner and in a second step the investigation of case studies by means of in-depth interviews and projects documents – conclusions for the regional development, the cross-border cooperation and the future funding programmes should be provided.

Redesigning of Biosphere Reserves in the Lake Neusiedl / Fertö Region
– the view of stakeholders
(gemeinsam mit Dr. Lajos Puskás)
Abstract: In the Lake Neusiedl / Fertö Region already in the late 1970s long before the Seville Strategy came up two Biosphere Reserves were established. In Austria this old biosphere reserve should be transformed in a biosphere reserve according to the Seville Strategy (1996) and the National Criteria for Biosphere Reserves in Austria (2006). In the MAB-Project “Redesigning the Biosphere Reserve Neusiedler See”, which combines an ecological perspective to natural and cultural landscape, nature conservation and protected areas and a socio-economic perspective to regional identity and regional development, fundamentals for the restructuring process of an enlarged biosphere reserve are developed. This means that information about the perceptions and ideas of regional stakeholders has to be collected and to be initiated a first participatory process. In Addition within a cross-border cooperation projects with colleagues from Hungary the conditions of the implementation of modern biosphere reserve concepts in Hungary were explored and also indepth-interviews with regional experts were conducted. The presentation will show some results of these qualitative interviews in Austria and Hungary, compare the position of different interest groups and point out some conclusions for the redesigning process of the biosphere reserves.
