​​​​The European Union – via the Cohesion Policy - introduced dedicated measures to pay a “particular attention to mountainous regions". However, territorial gaps still remain, and mountain stakeholders are too often unaware of these funds or unable to access them. Montana174's final conference will be an opportunity to share lessons learnt on the needs and challenges faced by mountain stakeholders as well as to discuss upon different practices to foster the uptake of the Cohesion Policy funds over the 2021-2027 period.
