- Summary:
- COST supports strategic workshops in order to provide the participants an opportunity to identified future research needs. The Strategic Workshop "Global Change and Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions" was convened at the Congress Hall of Innsbruck, Austria, from April 7-9, 2008. The event attracted more than 350 scientists, experts, practitioners, students, and scholars from 29 European and 10 non-European countries. It was based on three pillars 'keynotes', 'discussion groups', and 'presentations of ongoing projects'. The keynotes were presented by leading experts in their specific field and addressed current key research questions. The format of the discussion groups ensured that every participant could articulate his experiences and ideas. The project presentations gave an overview on ongoing activities, and were used as networking opportunities.
