| WinWin4WorkLife will collect novel and comprehensive data in 5 European countries (DE, FI, LU, PT, SK), selected to represent different welfare systems, housing and labour markets, and cultural norms towards remote work. Data collection consists of an employer survey focused on organizational support for RWA, impacts on skills retention and productivity, and intentions to relocate; and an employee survey complemented by interviews and a time use app covering employee circumstances, gendered RWA experiences, impacts on work-life balance and mental health, as well as residential or job relocation, and social security and taxation issues. This quantitative and qualitative data will feed custom-made spatial forecasting models to assess wider urban/rural regeneration, environmental and health impacts. Close and continuous engagement with planning, policy, business, and institutional stakeholders will ensure concrete and context-sensitive policy actions and measures for the sustainable uptake of RWA in Europe. | |

| The increased demand and interest in outdoor activities are great opportunities but also challenges for every protected area (PA) to meet visitors’ expectations, but also to protect natural values. The project aims to support PA managers in Central Europe (CE) in the area of evidence-based and participatory management (still insufficiently present in practice), to help them implement the right measures in the right places, to make smarter decisions, to prevent negative impacts and human-nature conflicts and to reduce risks through a gradual approach. The key message of the project is that it is important to better manage visitors today, so that tomorrow’s visitors can also experience quality sites, their conservation values and to support the livelihoods and well-being of local communities. The project aims to jointly develop new complementary tools and methods for assessing the impact of tourists based on transnational exchange of experience in order to better assess environmental conditions and trends, to adopt explicit management responses and measures, to generate information for national and European policymakers and the public. . Jointly developed pilot actions and solutions will demonstrate the use of innovative approaches to measuring the environmental impacts of tourism in the protected areas. The involvement of tourists and local communities in project activities, including participatory monitoring, will not only bring new valuable data, but will also bring awareness-raising, trust-building and behavior change. For individuals (tourists and local residents), it is an educational activity, where they can critically analyze the world around them and identify practical steps to protect the environment. Partners will also reflect on existing stories and jointly create new ones to develop the “common heritage” story and its ability to support policy-making. Jointly developed project outputs and final recommendations will be shared among relevant stakeholders through accompanying communication activities. | |

| The Rail4Regions project aims to contribute to increasing the share of rail freight. Rail4Regions partners are jointly proposing solutions for transport and spatial planners to integrate regional rail lines into the freight network as a means of improving the accessibility and economic viability of rail freight, thereby contributing to the objectives of the EU Green Deal in the transport sector. The jointly proposed outputs and solutions will push for investments to improve rail freight through the optimised use of regional rail lines as access points to the rail freight network. | |

| The project aims to accelerate the transformation and modernization of higher education institutions and their ecosystems with an emphasis on "widening" the landscape and the needs of the population. The project objective will be achieved through capacity building and strengthening the excellence of partner institutions by connecting them with knowledge hubs, which will be based on the cooperation of participating institutions and their ecosystems in the field of inclusive, sustainable and resilient cities. | |

| Road tunnels are already an integral part of our road infrastructure. With the development and increase in traffic, they also reflect the technical and economic maturity of society. Many examples from practice have shown us that their design, construction, operation and maintenance require, in addition to a large amount of financial resources, highly qualified civil engineers - designers, future representatives of contractors, supervisors, as well as professions related to the operation and maintenance of road tunnels. The level of their preparation and education, with the increasing number of these demanding engineering structures, is extremely important and will determine the development and quality of the transport infrastructure in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic for many years to come. | |
