Mountain Sustainability: Transforming Research into Practice MRI and 5 European partners will work on developing innovative communication tools to make research results available to practitioners in mountain regions. mountain.TRIP is funded through the European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme and will run throughout 2010 and 2011. http://www.mountaintrip.eu/
Partners
The consortium is coordinated by Institute of Mountain Research: Man & Environment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and also involves the Centre for Mountain Studies at Perth College (UK), Euromontana , EcoLogic (Germany), the Institute of Geography and Spatial Management of the Jagiellonian University (Poland), and the MRI.
Objectives
The goal is to provide stakeholders, end-users and practitioners withreadily accessible and understandable forms of research-basedinformation relevant to sustainable development in mountain regions.mountain.TRIP will start where other EU projects have finished,translating research findings into useful information and developingrelationships between users and researchers.
Research projects often produce valuable results, methods, tools andinstruments, but at the end of the project neither time nor moneyremain to disseminate these results among practitioners and to theinterested public.
Furthermore, research results usually exist in forms recognized bythe research community but not easily or quickly assimilated bycommunities of practice.
mountain.TRIP will close the gap that currently exists between EUproject findings and the needs of policy- and decision-makers,stakeholders in economy and environment, planners and administrators,non-governmental organisations, end-users, and other members of groupsrepresenting the interests of citizens and industry of the mostimportant mountain regions of Europe.
mountain.TRIP will not just disseminate research results, but willrather synthesize results from multiple EU funded projects whileadapting the format of that synthesis through continuous interactionwith practitioners to meet their needs.
