How to generate added value from Europes mountains?
Euromontana, in cooperation with the Swiss Centre for mountain regions (SAB) is organising the VI European Mountain Convention in the city of Brig. In the year 2008, Brig is Alpine city of the year, which provides an ideal background for the Mountain Convention. This Convention aims to discuss how to generate added value within Europes mountain areas and the sessions will be treating specifically new European policies in mountain areas, the right political framework for mountains and their way to competitiveness and innovation, transformation of the industrial sector in mountains and mountain economy, developing entrepreneurship in mountain areas as well as ways of adaptation to climate change. The Convention is combined with another international event in Brig, organised by the Foundation for a sustainable development in mountain regions, held on October 6 to 10, which creates one big international week of the mountains. The field trips are therefore combined between the two events. T
