Transnational Nordic-Scottish co-operation: lessons for policy and practice

The project involved analysis of the lessons learned by regions and other partners in transnational and inter-regional co-operation projects in the fields of spatial planning and regional development in this part of Europe, and to identify the practical and policy lessons for effective inter-regional co-operation projects. The study provided a solid basis for Nordic-Scottish cooperation, providing an overview of what had been carried out and achieved to date, a synthesis of the lessons for policy-makers and the identification of ‘good practice’ in the seven fields defined as being of specific importance for future Nordic-Scottish co-operation.
