Innovative character. The innovative character of the XXXX falls on addressing urban environment improvements as part of urban development policies, working on the funds allocated to the article 7 of the ERDF Regulation under a double perspective: the promotion of an interregional cooperation work at the EU level for making the urban policies more resource efficient & the enlargement of these funds to low population density urban areas. In fact, there are several Interreg Europe (IE) projects focused on circular economy but none of them are centred in the urban environmental management. Thus, XXXX is innovative because it aims at the implementation of an holistic approach in the specific aim of the urban policies regarding the set of urban issues related with the a more efficient urban environment management and strategies. It is also innovative once it assures that local authorities will directly benefit from the interregional lessons learnt & exchange of good practices of the project. XXXX will assure synergies with: • IE projects: o INTHERWASTE that also aims at improving environmental performance management in cities through waste-related strategies. o RETRACE which aims to support local & regional policies move towards a circular economy. • MC2, a POCTEP project that develops the cross-border agenda for the urban system Galicia-North Portugal, that will be improved by adopting the main conclusions of the project & will be used as a good practice of an urban policy that seeks for the resource efficiency and promotes a better local governance in the low population density. • SIX CITIES STRATEGY (Finland flagship initiative) an urban sustainable development strategy good practice recognised by the EU that promotes the design and implementation of urban policies and strategies in a collaborative way. The promoters of this initiative had supported the LP in the development of the project idea & goals. 1,913 / 2,000 characters
Innovative character. Thermalism is a natural medicine based on the use of natural thermal waters for therapeutic treatments that shift healthcare management from curative to preventive1.10,2. It concerns primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The thermal medical programmes are validated scientifically (clinical tests)3.1 before launch on the market and this scientific assessment ensures the reproducibility of protocols within thermal spa companies2.1,3.1. They are global health care programmes with thermal treatments and complementary activities (health nutrition, psychological follow-up, adapted physical activity and knowledge on chronic diseases)2.2. This innovative angle in the topic of healthcare is of added-value compared to other health projects financed. We aim to promote processes of entrepreneurial discovery (triple helix), fostering to the role of the final users2.1,4.1,4.2. Durability of Results: the durability of InnovaSPA achievements will be ensured through the implementation of the concrete policy measures that each partner will indentify in its own action plan and their funding in the framework of Structural Funds , in particular ERDF.
