Following the model (and the vocabulary) in force in the management, the strategy of the EUSALP revolves around 3 thematic objectives (1. Fair access to employment, relying on the strong competitiveness of the region; 2 Internal and external sustainable accessibility for all; 3. A more inclusive environmental framework for all and renewable energy solutions for the future) and a cross-cutting objective: A solid macro-regional governance model for the region in order to improve cooperation and coordination of actions.
The three thematic objectives are subdivided into Action Groups (AG), as follows:
- Fair access to employment, building on the region’s strong competitiveness
- AG1: To develop an effective research and innovation ecosystem;
- AG2: To increase the economic potential of strategic sectors;
- AG3: To improve the adequacy of labour market, education and training in strategic sectors.
- Sustainable internal and external accessibility for all
- AG4: To promote inter-modality and interoperability in passenger and freight transport;
- AG5: To connect people electronically and promote accessibility to public services.
- A more inclusive environmental framework for all and renewable energy solutions for the future
- AG6: To preserve and valorise natural resources, including water and cultural resources;
- AG7: To develop ecological connectivity in the whole EUSALP territory;
- AG8: To improve risk management and to better manage climate change, including major natural risks prevention;
- AG9: To make the territory a model region for energy efficiency and renewable energy
