Conclusions ...
1. To develop macro-regional strategies is complex and challenging and needs the involvement of stakeholders on different levels
2. Macro-regional strategies are about to become important multi level governance approaches throughout Europe
3. Macro-regional strategies and funding instruments (esp. transnational strand of European Territorial Co-operation) should better fit together
4. Successful macro-regional strategies require a spirit of co-operation (each actor should bring in it’s competencies and know how)
