The tools
part-financed by the
European Union
The significance of the participation in the EU programmes has
more than a financial aspect. It has a cultural dimension based
on research, innovation and partnerships with the other local
governments of the same basin/ecosystem/region. Also
significant is the possibility to try out all forms of the operative
collaboration put in the practice by numberless declarations of
the good will expressed during the Forums Plenary Sessions. Use
of EU programmes means to pass from words to facts!
