Is it worth joining INTERREG projects?
YES !
– INTERREG projects are among the main
tools of interregional cooperation
– They create opportunities to participate
in innovative undertakings and pilot
projects (IS, research, e-learning, etc.)
and to learn from more advanced
partners
Benefits from INTERREG projects
1. A large number of partners entails wide
transfer of know-how and experience
2. The implementation of such projects
helps identify future partners and
potential cooperation topics – as part of
the European Territorial Cooperation for
2007-2013
Reasons for Wielkopolska’s
participation in EUROPLANE
1. Increased importance of regional airports
following the congestion of European hubs –
a development opportunity for Poznań – Ławica
Airport
2. Access to modern simulation models and know-how
developed in the two previous editions of the
project (SEABIRD, SEAPLANE)
3. Cooperation and exchange of experiences with
other regional airports in the EU
Wielkopolska’s benefits
from participation in EUROPLANE
– Wielkopolska - the only Polish partner in the project – we
can be active in this area, i.e. develop regional airports,
influence regional growth
– better promotion towards other Polish airports (success
story: Poznań Airport Information Day), all regional media
much more attentive and in favour of Poznań Airport
– involvement in the network of EU-15 regional airports
- passenger market potential analysis conducted
for the first time for Poznań-Ławica Airport opportunity to identify new, potential flight
connections
Wielkopolska’s benefits
from participation in EUROPLANE
- Exchange of experiences and transfer of best
practice as regards the strategic development of
airports and management methods
- New contacts with other UE regions,
airlines, airports – creation of new
possibilities for cooperation and promotion
of regions, identification of solutions for
interregional problems
Poznań-Ławica Airport benefits
from participation in EUROPLANE
- econometric
analysis
and
exchange
of
experiences within project – easier to face new
development challenges
- good cooperation between Wielkopolska Marshal
Office and Poznań Ławica Airport, and also
numerous contacts and exchanges during project
implementation = “success story” of recent
development of Poznań Airport
Poznań-Ławica Airport benefits
from participation in EUROPLANE
- 5 out of 11 newly established routes have been
indentified by econometrical analysis in the project;
aprox. efficiency = 50%
- Poznań Airport has been given general guidelines
for the application for the EU funds (Ławica is about
to receive aprox. 50mln EUR within next 7 years)
EUROPLANE spin-offs
1. other Polish regional airports have become curious
and would like to join such a wonderful project team
2. mathematical formulas have become „a piece of
cake” since a number of Benedict Mandel's lectures
were listened
3. not only mathematical formulas have become
readable, but also the whole socio-econometric model
is like an “ABC-Book”
4. thanks to EUROPLANE we have had the opportunity
to see many beautiful places, even unforgetable Mont
Blanc
5. the only thing we haven't explored enough until now
is a quasi-component “social studies” ...
EUROPLANE – Wielkopolska
additional activities
1. During project implementation, Wielkopolska
activity in „regional airports” working group
(Assembly of European Regions) has
significantly increased and, as a result of
Poznań Airport Information Day – where AER
actively participated - a follow-up Regional
Airports Conference was organised in
Poznań in September this year
2. Strong campaign in Polish media and
lobbying in favour of Poznań Airport
Thank you for your attention
