 ==== Recommendations to the Alpine Space MA in order to put more emphasis on spatial development issues in 2014+ ====
-  * [[Use the existing project partnerships]]
+  * **Use the existing project partnerships**
-  * [[Offer exchange workshops]]
+The partnerships formed during the preparation phase of an Alpine Space project and tightened during the working phase are often dissolving after the final conference and the project closure. This is a loss of expertise, working dynamism and already achieved cooperation. It might be useful to offer post-project meetings after 1-2 years, in which the partnership can reflect the work carried out with the experiences made after that and feed this back.
+  * **Offer exchange workshops**
+Enhance the exchange of stakeholders by offering thematic workshops. Although the Alpine Space Programme generates many different project outputs, there is a lack of links between projects which focus on similar issues. The MA could stimulate such a professional exchange by offering (and financing) a frame for thematic workshops. Project partners could present their work and exchange experiences and thus find and create synergies between the projects. If such workshops are open to a broader public, especially local and regional administrations and policy makers, the potential user groups could express their needs directly. Insights and acceptance of project results might also be deepened by practical exercises of tools, data bases, methodologies, etc. In this sense sustainable behavior change as an empowerment of the civil society and administrations could be used.
+This could support the involving of additional stakeholder outside the existing partnership networks.
 === Options for the development of expert networks ===
-  * [[Involving relevant stakeholder use results of the stakeholder analysis]]
+  * **Involving relevant stakeholder use results of the stakeholder analysis**
-  * [[Horizontal extension of networks within the same field of expertise]]
+The stakeholder analysis undertaken in WIKIAlps offers new insights in the stakeholder landscape of the two thematic fields. You may detect how the geographical distribution and distribution of types of stakeholder is under the current participants of the programme. This recommends in contrast to search for new stakeholders in those areas where so far no stakeholder are present.
-  * [[Vertical extension of network]]
+  * **Horizontal extension of networks within the same field of expertise**
+Even within an existing network there might be important actors which have not been involved in Alpine Space issues so far. One example for a potential extension of networks is the administration for rural development in Germany, which are an important player in the rural areas but have not yet been involved in any of the projects. Therefore extending networks is a permanent process and task for the Alpine Space programme.
+  * **Vertical extension of network**
+Within one field of expertise networks should stretch from national to regional and local level. By this the concrete tasks at the local level are faced with requirements and limitations at the national level. Again this might offer opportunities for finding partners, funding or just support from a different administrative level.
+Another vertical dimension reaches from strategic to a practical implementation level. Even at local level challenges can not only be solved in a practical way but will also need a strategic element such as developing visions for the future development of a municipality or just parts of it.
