Abstract
Carpathian Euroregion - Association of the Carpathian Euroregion Poland

Since 2001 the Association of the Carpathian Euroregion Poland has been a leading organization supporting the development of territorial cooperation in the Carpathians. As the basic structure of the Carpathian Euroregion we not only strive to effectively implement entrusted components of cross-border cooperation programmes of the European Union, but we also create modern organizational and institutional solutions, widely benefiting from the experiences of our international, European and global partners. By settling into the rhythm of dynamic development of territorial cooperation in Europe, we endeavour to involve our partners from the Carpathians region in such initiatives which may contribute substantially to the socio-economic development of the Carpathian Mountains. We focus on a broad partnership, which nowadays has to be determined, conscious of its goals, effectively coordinated and its network efficiently managed in order to be successful in fierce international competition. Therefore, we are certain that the Association of the Carpathian Euroregion Poland and created by it wide international coalition for the Carpathians, are able to compete effectively for the European and global tourist and investor as well as prevent disadvantageous socio-economic trends, which are an integral part of all regions forming the Carpathian Euroregion.
