 technische Hilfe mit den Zielen einer verstärkten Beteiligung 
Thüringens an EU-Programmausschreibungen sowie Beiträge zu einer 
intensivierten Vernetzung zwischen Hochschulen und Thüringer KMUs sowie 
Einrichtungen aus Partnerregionen. Außerdem führt das EPC die 
Veranstaltungsreihe „Hochschulstandorte Thüringens stellen sich vor"&nbsp; 
durch. Die Europäische Akademie der Regionen unterstützt die Planung und
 Durchführung von Fachaufenthalten in Thüringen und seinen 
Partnerregionen und organisiert nationale und internationale Fachtreffen
 im Rahmen der EAR. Sie führt die Veranstaltungsreihe „Fachseminare der 
EAR" durch.<br />Außerdem organisiert sie im Auftrag der Landesregierung 
Treffen der zuständigen Akteure der Verwaltungen mit dem Ziel, aktuelle 
Handlungsfelder zu identifizieren und programmbezogene Vorschläge aus 
den Fachreferaten zu initiieren bzw. zu beraten<br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[Das EPC bietet 
Beratungsleistungen für Unternehmen und Hochschulen an. Alles was 
transnationale und transregionale Zusammenarbeit förderbar macht, wird 
hier beraten. Daneben baut das EPC einen umfassenden Publikationsdienst 
zu EU-, Bundes- und Landesprogrammen auf. Dieser Publikationsdienst 
umfasst zur Zeit die genannten Veranstaltungsreihen, die 
CD-ROM-Publikationen der Thüringer Hochschulstandorte und die 
„epc-nachrichten". Die „epc-nachrichten" werden auch im Internet zum 
Download bereitgestellt.<br />
<br />
Mit der feierlichen Eröffnung und Wiederbelebung der historischen Alten 
Wache wurde eine zentrale Anlaufstelle für die Kooperation von Thüringen
 mit seinen Partnerregionen eingerichtet. Hier sind zwei Einrichtungen 
untergebracht, die sich dem Gedanken der transregionalen Zusammenarbeit 
in Europa verschrieben haben, das Europa Programm Center, das vom 
Thüringer Institut für Akademische Weiterbildung (TIAW) in Trägerschaft 
geführt wird und zum Anderen die Europäische Akademie der Regionen 
(EAR), ein Projekt der Hertie-Stiftung.<br /><br />]]>

        <![CDATA[<b>Cities and Regions for cycling
</b><br /><br /><p><i>The still increasing private motorisation results in 
unsustainable traffic congestion and air pollution in the cities and 
regions of Central Europe. By designing and implementing trans-national,
 cross-border and national strategies the EU-Project BICY aims to 
achieve a widespread modal shift towards cycling and walking to improve 
the quality of life and reduce pollution.</i></p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>Considering that around 80% of all urban trips have a distance of 
less than 5 kilometres it becomes evident that an increased use of 
bicycles would bring about an enormous reduction of problems associated 
with congestion, pollution and the emission of CO2. As a consequence of 
this many positive effects could be achieved. From improved health, time
 savings to combating climate change. In other words, cycling mobility 
(together with walking and in combination with public transport) should 
be promoted as the most sustainable, ecological and, under certain 
conditions, healthiest and safest way of mobility. The BICY project 
partnership includes those that are forerunners with regard to bicycle 
mobility. In Ferrara, Italy, for example more than 30% of all urban 
trips are done by bike and in Graz, Austria, the numbers are: 20% bike 
trips in the city centre and 16% in total. These two partners intend to 
further consolidate and increase their performance and, at the same time
 to transfer their experiences to late runners and areas that have just 
started to improve bicycle mobility. Late runners will lay down the 
conceptual and operational basis to first set up an adequate bike 
infrastructure and design comprehensive mobility plans that centre on 
cycling. More advanced areas and front runners will improve their 
existing cycling system, work out a possible integration with other soft
 means of mobility and try out new innovative technologies in the field 
of cycle mobility.</p>
<p>In particular BICY will:</p>
<ul><li>Develop a      coherent and integrated urban-regional bike planning,
 as a strategic      component of the entire urban-territorial planning;</li><li>Promote      cycling as a key component of public transport;</li><li>Raise      awareness of local decision makers and citizens about the
 bicycle as an      equivalent means of urban transportation and a valid
 replacement of the      car for shorter trips</li><li>Promote      the bicycle as a modern, ecological and safer means of 
transportation -      especially in the NMS where cycling is often 
associated with poverty</li><li>Strengthen      the frontrunners experience, also with new and 
innovative technologies -      and, at the same time - enable policy 
makers and relevant stakeholders of      lagging behind areas to learn 
from the first;</li><li>Generate,      share and exchange reproducible new ideas, appraches and experiences;</li><li>Provide      quantitative evidence through consolidated indicators, 
that a widespread      modal shift toward cycling and walking does 
indeed improve the quality of      (urban) life;</li><li>Promote a      trans-national cross-fertilisation between similar projects and      partnerships working in the same field;</li><li>Implement      concrete actions, conceived at trans-national level 
that are then      customized locally and thus able to achieve tangible 
outputs related to      new mobility strategies.</li></ul>To get more information about the BICY project please visit the project website<b><font style="font-size: 1em;"> <a href="http://www.bicy.it/" target="_blank">www.bicy.it</a> </font></b>which provides further information in English language. ]]>

        <![CDATA[<b>Improvement of CE region's accessibility through air transport connectivity</b><br /><br /><p><i>Accessibility is an essential factor for improving competiveness and a
 necessary precondition for growth and an economic development. Free 
movement of people, goods and information increases efficiency and 
improves the development prospects for the regions. However, compared to
 Western Europe the majority of Central Europe suffers from significant 
accessibility deficits.</i><br /></p>]]>
        <![CDATA[This accessibility gap is reflected by 
significantly higher travel times as well as poor intramodal and 
intermodal links - with detrimental effects on business settlements, 
regional-economic development, and tourist attractiveness.

<p>The idea for the CHAMPIONS project was born about in 2008 due 
to the decision to have the UEFA Football Championship 2012 organised in
 the Ukraine and in Poland. This decision put a focus on the weak 
accessibility of many airport regions in the Central Europe Programme 
area by means of air transport. CHAMPIONS' aim is to strengthen the 
cohesion of regions in Central Europe through a better accessibility by 
air transport on the one hand and innovative and sustainable solutions 
for public transport on the other hand. Missing interconnectivity 
between air and public transport can be a reason for the lack of 
accessibility of regions or cities and a low share of sustainable public
 transport.</p>

12 participating regions, airports and institutes from 6 countries, 
including the Ukraine, which face similar challenges in terms of 
accessibility, interconnectivity and public transport services, have 
therefore joined to find accessibility solutions to foster business and 
tourism activities in their regions.<br /><br />To get more information about the CHAMPIONS project please visit the project website<b> <a href="http://www.champions-project.de/" target="_blank">www.champions-project.de</a> </b>which provides further information in English language.]]>
