Project Aims• Evaluate existing & planning regional capabilities, • Identify common problems related to the sustainable growth, • Analyze best approaches and practices • Examine the role of human resources and the constrain of immigration

movements.

This project examines and proposes growth policies based on

knowledge, innovation and research for the following sectors:• Agriculture, • Culture, • Environmental • SME’s, • Services and • Tourism

Islands and Epirus; Sicily and Puglia• Diagnose the causes of the inadequate planning efforts of the past and explore the

new opportunities and examine problems related to the regional and spatial development capacities and practises expressed in policy design and in the implementation of research and technology,

• Investigate changes in the sectoral and regional labour markets, changes to

the labour force; and the structural role of immigration and the labour force

MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT’S IMPLEMENTATION

Work-Package 1Creation of a network aiming at coordinating the application of sectoral policies for CAP, tourism,

environment, culture, services and SMEs.

Responsible Partner: Region of Western Greece

Involved Partners: All

Southern Europe’s developmental status

“special case” of European economic system

late industrializationlarge agricultural and tourist sectors

speculative urban development

extensive family-based informal economy

Strong, but declining in significance, presence of the primary sector

Small-sized enterprises without technological advance and

innovations adoption

Work Package 1

•Establishing and development of a network of interested partners for sectoral policies (Main and Associate partners)

•Operational Committees for every sector: •CAP (4), •Tourism (3), •Environment (5), •Services (8), •Culture (2),•SMES (1)

•OCs outcome comparing them with European knowledge and expertise and will produce a Roadmap

Work Package 1

•Establishment and Maintain Data Base with Members (Main nodes and Associate member)

•Investigate the existing status on the six sectors: CAP, tourism, environment, culture, services and SMEs.

•Produce studies on the existing and planning regional capabilities and practises on the design of sectoral policies

•Establishing 6 networks for each sector

Work-Package 2Creation of a network for the monitoring of immigration

movement and their impact

Responsible Partner: Agricultural University of Athens

Involved Partners: All

Important reforms to the labor markets

healthy economic competition business flexibility

demand for flexible labour power, independent of trade union practices and legislation

Immigrants

Work Package 2

The WP 2 targeting to the immigration management and to

the supporting of policies for social inclusion of legal

immigrants.

It will be implemented in the Ionian Sea territory.

WP2 will mainly examine migratory phenomenon on the

areas concerned and on the local labour markets, what is

migrants’ impact on receiving local economies, how

migrants can be utilized to contribute to the development.

Outputs / Deliverables

• Initiative activities and regular meetings (3) monitoring the establishing,

development and coordination of a network monitoring and studying

migration. The network is going to include all the legible regions.• Establishment of permanent migration observatory network based on the local authorities. • Establishment of a permanent “think tank” for immigration and its impact on less developed Region.

Action No 2.1

Establishing and development of a network of interested partners for monitoring the migratory phenomenon on the areas concerned and on the local labour markets

Outputs / Deliverables

• Collected statistical data of immigrants movements from the involved

Greek and Italian regions • Detailed illustration of immigrants’ movements

• Valuation of the statistical data• Quantitative empirical research looking at the duration and the evolution of the immigration flows

Action No 2.2

Diagnostic study of the immigration movements and their impacts in the regions involved.
