Abstract:
Across the Alps, a great number of protected areas engage in sustainable regional development. Together with other stakeholders, they work on new strategies, projects and products and thereby develop ideas, knowledge and networks in their territories. These experiences can be very valuable for other protected area regions: they can be a source of inspiration, and their exchange can encourage mutual learning. The InnovAlps project wants to support this exchange in order to contribute to a more sustainable regional development in Alpine protected areas.

InnovAlps investigates innovative approaches of regional development. Such strategies and approaches are able to open-up new pathways of economic and social development and trigger regional change. The project looks particularly at the governance behind such approaches, focusing on actors and partnerships of change.

In order to support the exchange on innovative approaches between protected areas, ALPARC works with three selected pilot regions in Austria, France and Switzerland. Using a bench learning methodology with a series of workshops, regional and local stakeholders from the pilot regions will have the opportunity to present and discuss their approaches of sustainable regional development. As a result, InnovAlps will present a selection of innovative approaches from Alpine protected areas. It will provide lessons on how to generate new ideas, establish an innovative climate and capitalize on experiences from elsewhere in regions of protected areas.

Leading questions:

How can an innovative and integrated regional development in and around protected areas look like?

Which are the innovative approaches in protected areas across the Alps?

Which are the necessary preconditions and success factors of innovation in Alpine protected areas?
