Work plan (1) - phase 1 Evaluation and
adaptation

• Evaluation of INTERREG Programmes and projects in
  mountain regions.
• Definition of evaluation criteria integrating
  mountains specificities
• Searching and collecting projects in INTERREG
  various strands
• Evaluation and recognition of "best practices"
  in mountain regions. 
• II. Integration of data from Objectives 1, 2 and
  3, and Leader experiences in mountain regions
  identification of the main focus in regional and
  national mountain policies.
• III. Adaptation tools and actions issued of
  Interact P1M1 and P1M2 and shaping new specific
  tools if necessary add value to "best mountain
  practices".

Work plan (2) - phase 1.III

• Adaptation tools and actions issued of Interact
  P1M1 and P1M2 and shaping new specific tools if
  necessary add value to "best mountain
  practices".
• This is a central phase of the "Interact Pro
  Monte" Project, when the work done by the
  Interact secretariat and IP should be strongly
  involved in. In particular for this phase, the
  work done on a toolbox to develop practical
  management tools, to promote common standards, to
  promote wide use of common standards would be
  integrated in. As for the work done by the other
  IP on Information and Animation based on source
  examples of good practice to make them available
  and encourage their use, and to increase
  exchange, interaction between all players in
  INTERREG.
• So, the best practices evaluated in periods 1 and
  2 of phase I would be compared to the work done
  by the IP. Therefore, the project partners would
  analyse what can give an added-value to the
  toolbox and the work of "information and
  animation" with the results of the evaluation
  phase.

Work plan (3) - phase 1. III

• Then, two kinds of possible adaptation
• First, an adaptation of the IP works to mountain
  specificities the best INTERREG practices in
  mountain sustainable development best
  interregional practices.
• Second, an adaptation of the best practices
  evaluated in periods 1 and 2 to the expectations
  of local and regional authorities and development
  actors, which could be private or public,
  economic or social the mountain sustainable
  development best interregional practices in
  future INTERREG project in mountain areas.
• Depending of the adaptability of the IP work to
  the mountain best specificities, two solutions
  could be imagined.
• The first one is a complement tool and a
  catalogue of best practices in Mountain regions.
• The second is to create a new tool or a new
  approach to integer both IP actions and "Pro
  Monte" evaluation. This second option should be
  done in a very close cooperation with the
  Interact Secretariat.

Cooperation with IP - Example

• IA Database cluster group (aims)
• Share experiences on developing database
• Create direct links with INTERACT Secretariat
  in case our project move the project database
  to the INTERACT system
• Receive feedback from INTERACT Secretariat on
  databases currently developed for IP

6
Cooperation with IP - Example

• Items to be discussed in IA Database cluster
  group
• How to avoid overlap in data collection
• How to fit in content from INTERREG/INTERACT
• What happens to our database after finalisation
  of the project
• What are the technical requirements of IACS ?
• What about data protection and legal
  requirements ?

7
IACS Database and Document Management System

• High security, flexible capacity
• Personal data protection
• User-friendly (internet) applications

IACS Database

• INTERACT Projects
• I. Benefit from IACS Confidentiality Agreement
  All projects wanting to benefit from
  information/data collected by INTERACT
• Communications System to date
• II. Contribution to IACS
• Project Database!
• Disclaimer Database projects with intention
  to transfer system or data to IACS
• Database Sheet All projects
