CLUSTERING

SMART ERA actively involves the following four EU Macro-Regional Strategies (MRS):

the Alpine region Strategy (EUSALP), the Baltic Sea Region Strategy (EUSBSR), the Adriatic-Ionian Region Strategy (EUSAIR), and the Danube Region Strategy (EUSDR).

Throughout the project, they actively contribute to achieving our goals by:

• conducting a comparative study on smart villages’ initiatives across EU MRS;
• organising brainstorming sessions to enhance cross-MRS collaboration in smart villages;
• hosting workshops on joint transnational development for smart villages;
• defining new MRS priorities at a strategic level for smart villages and
• devising measures to facilitate the uptake and replication of project outcomes at the EU policy level, in coordination with the CAP networks.
