Innovation in mountain areas: 4th European Biennial of Mountain Regions

26.07.2011

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Vosges is organizing the 4th European Biennial of Mountain Regions, which will take place from 13 to 14 October 2011 in Gérardmer (Vosges), France. The focus will be on "Innovation in mountain areas". Various threats undermine European mountain regions, i.e. climate change, land pressure, demographic deficit and reduction of public funds. Mountain areas must be innovative in order to be attractive in a highly competitive Europe. This international event will bring together key economic players from all European mountain ranges and will organise conferences and round tables offering concrete solutions to mountain representatives. More information, including the agenda and the registration form, is available online.
