REPRESENTING MOUNTAINS
Euromontana realises its mission by representing European mountain areas and by conducting projects, conferences and seminars concerning mountain issues.
In order to achieve this, Euromontana facilitates the exchange of information and experience among these areas by organising seminars and major conferences, by conducting and collaborating in studies, by developing, managing and participating in European projects and by working with the European institutions on mountain issues.
The office in Brussels follows the development of all relevant policies and legislation emerging from the European Commission and EU structures, in order to make representation on those issues that are of significance to mountain areas.
