The EGTC GO presented its experience at the First Symposium on Franco-Italian cross-border cooperation at SciencesPo in Menton.

The aim of the symposium was to make the DITER research-action-collaboration platform available to researchers and territorial actors by contributing to enriching the "cross-border culture" in the "Southern Alps-Italy-France-Monaco" basin area.

One of the panels was devoted to the opportunities, challenges, obstacles and problems of a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) in multilevel (French-Italian-Monegasque) management for the territorial development of the "Southern Alps-France-Italy-Monaco" space. The presentation included an exchange of best practices and know-how of the existing EGTCs, EGTC Eurodistrict Pamina (Lauterbourg - Alsace), EGTC Parc européen Alpes-Maritimes Mercantour Violaine Tironi (Nice), EGTC Euregio Italy-Austria and our EGTC GO on the border between Italy and Slovenia.

We are happy to see more and more cross-border areas joining forces to overcome the obstacles of life on the border.
