Priorities/Components

The PromSTAP project consists out of three thematic priorities (Component 2-4) - each
divided in 3 sub-themes (table 1). Under each sub-theme actors from the different partner
regions will be invited to apply for sub-project funds. 
Supported by the results of these sub-projects the partners will jointly elaborate new policy
approaches and best practice guidelines adaptable to the economic, administrative and
legislative differences in different EU regions.
