We conclude year 1999
with the IUPM inception report, that we all started to discuss in October, containing
brief overview of activities during the year, developed basics of the IUPM approach and
revised time table for remaining activities.
Management of the project presented a number of unexpected administrative tasks, related
to integration of non-EU experts from Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn and Gdansk under structural
funds’ regulations. An additional partner - Wismar University, utilising the third
round of applications for Interreg IIC BSR funds, has also joined us.
Apart of the administrative project set-up and development of common frame of reference on
the project issues, we have followed three lines of activity:

These workshops led us to
elaboration of the key concepts for IUPM approach, and better definition of the IUPM
project deliverables.Concurrently with the workshops, partners carried out field studies
in their neighbourhoods . Two of the studies – Kongens Engave and Rostock have
already been completed, while in Vilnius it is commencing. In result of the findings, IUPM
pilot projects have been formulated: Green Nerve in Kongens Enghave, public participation
in planning of revitalisation in Oestliche Altstadt in Rostock. The project in Vilnius
remains in definition stage.

Apart of the
introduction of new reporting forms and monitoring procedures based on new EU-adopted
methodology (click here to read comments),
this meeting provided a chance to meet people from other regional Interreg IIC
secretariats, and discuss possible co-operation with e.g. projects within Interreg IIC NWMA region
programme pursuing same objectives as IUPM, particularly – the Four Cities project.
There will be more news on this page as these co-operation ideas evolve.
