SECCo1: Crossing The Borders – Studies
Our SECCo research project fits into the Action Plan of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR). The Road Map of the Priority Area 10 (Institutional capacity and cooperation) of the EUSDR included the exploration of best practices and the sharing of examples of cross-border cooperation in the Danube area. The research was made in the framework of an international partnership, in which we worked together with Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian, Romanian, Serbian and Slovakian partners. The analysis of the areas along the border was carried out quantitatively with statistical data, on the level LAU1 and LAU 2 level of the European Union’s statistic list. After this, the analysis of the cross-border cooperation was carried out by CESCI and its partners separately in an independent way, although based on a common thematic. Every participant examined two cross-border cooperation structures that are active on the territory of the given country, with qualitative methods, mainly by interviews, and then they summarised the results, information in the form of case studies. As a result of the research a unified database was also prepared, that can be accessed after registration.
