A labour market for all - using resources of longer lives 31 August 2018 | Seminar | Stockholm

Macro-regional strategies Today societal challenges are more complex and can’t be solved solely on local, regional or national levels but requires transnational cooperation involving stakeholders cross-sectorial and cross-borders. In Macro-regional strategies transnational cooperation is integrated in joint development processes, for example in municipalities own development processes, avoiding transnational projects to become “satellites” where projects rarely results in lasting impacts.  In Macro-regional strategies the macro-region is viewed as an interconnected system. A laboratory for a new Europe
