2. 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 the macro-region is viewed as an interconnected system.
