INTERREG III A PROJECT SLO-HU-CRO 106/2004/HU-74 Development features of cross-border regions

In January 2006 The Keszthely-Hévíz Microregion Multifunctional and Development Association together with the Georgikon Faculty of Agriculture Keszthely of the University of Pannonia, and the Krizevci Agricultural College (Croatia) started a cooperation project within the framework of the INTERREG IIIA Slovenia-Hungary-Croatia Neighbourhood Programme of the European Union under the title „ Development features of cross-border regions” (SLO/HU/CRO-4012-106/2004/01/HU-74 sz), . In this project the Croatian-Hungarian borderline area is assessed, as a case study to identify the cooperation possibilities mutually beneficial for the actors of the economy in both sides of the border. Within the project the socioeconomic situation is surveyed using questionnaires and interviews as primary information sources, to find out the requirements for successful cooperation, and then, based on the findings of this survey a teaching programme of 30 contact hours has been developed to train professionals for working in borderline regions, preparing them for the specific problems of such regions, and specific opportunities that such regions may offer for development, and providing skills and knowledge that may be efficiently utilised in designing spatial development plans and implementing them in practice.
