  4. Main Objectives of Thematic Capitalisation • More efficient use of the knowledge resulting from projects working on a similar topic. • Ensure the impact on policy making process at regional, local, national and European levels. • Increase the Programme visibility for wider dissemination of capitalised knowledge. • Transfer of experience represented in capitalised knowledge to ensure coherence and higher effectiveness of future programmes.

  5. Target groups of Thematic Capitalisation

  6. Capitalisation topic: tourism Why the tourism was chosen to be the first Capitalisation topic? Priority I “Socio-economic development” Measure 1.3. “Tourism development” Tourism sectors is the power engine for socio-economic growth of the border region, which due to its historical and cultural heritage and nature, has a high potential for its development. Programme financing ~MEUR 16,4 7 Open Call projects 1 Large Scale project

  7. Tourism policy: focal points • Stimulation of competitiveness in the European tourism sector; • Promotion of development of sustainable, responsible and high quality tourism; • Diversification and increase in number of tourism products; • Eco-friendly and socially responsible tourism; • Working towards common image of Programme territory as the set of sustainable and high quality destinations. 4 projects foresee contribution to regional tourism development strategies!

  8. Online survey of Tourism Projects

  9. Respondents: beneficiaries of the projects

  10. Key dimensions of research

  11. Basis for design of the projects

  12. Project Partnerships: criteria for choosing partners

  13. Networking and identification of cross border added value

  14. Areas of expected influence

  15. Planned means of ensuring the project sustainability

  16. Key elements to ensure the usability of project results

  17. Capitalisation

  18. Key findings (1) • Project ideas were generated jointly. • Applications were prepared by the Lead Partner with lesser support from the junior partners. • Development strategies, studies and researches were the most valuable source for elaborating the project idea and design. • Key criterion for choosing partners – relevant competencies.

  19. Key findings (2) • Networking and cross border added value is expected to ensure by: • adoption of common deliverables/outputs/tools, • exchange of experiences and “know-how”, • establishment of stable relationships. • Creation of the brand new tool (deliverable) is the most innovative output to be expected by the projects. • Sustainability of project results highly depends on involvement of authorities. Successful involvement tools: • kick-off and partner meetings, • seminars, tourism fairs, etc., • individual cooperation agreements.

  20. Key findings (3) • In order to ensure that the planned results become apart of the tourism sector mainstream, the projects expect to integrate them into existing policies/programmes on regional level. • Usability of the project: outputs (deliverables) are considered and expected to become benchmarks. • Key component for capitalisation - intensive communication of outputs and results to stakeholders.

  21. Conclusions (1) • In most cases the Lead Partner carried the majority of work load on project design. • Coherence between the initiates developed by already completed, current and future projects acknowledged to be an essential tool for knowledge transfer and capitalisation. • Projects used traditional tools to exchange the experience: seminars, study visits, workshops, staff exchange, etc.

  22. Conclusions (2) • Most Lead Partners underestimate the role of capitalisation, yet, consider innovations and usability of project results for the benefit of the region. • Project partners need additional support and training by the Programme to ensure understanding the role and potential of capitalisation. • Expected obstacles for transferring the project results and best practices are: regional differences, including specific conditions, size, cost and complexity.
