The Final Presentation Conference for the CAMP Slovenia project was held in Portoroz, on June 20-21, 2007. The conference was the concluding event of this very successful project that was in its full implementation stage during the last three years. The meeting brought together representatives of eight municipalities involved in the project, representatives of the Ministry of Environment, various institutions, NGOs, members of the Steering Committee and the Project Committee, as well as PAP/RAC and BP/RAC representatives. All the project activities were briefly introduced, and discussion that followed will contribute to the preparation of the Final Report.
The proposed follow-up activities are expected to enter their implementation, and the preparatory activities to propose projects for financing from various sources will be the main CAMP activities in the post-CAMP period. The Final Integrated Report will be edited and prepared for publishing as the MAP Technical Report Series. The results and outputs of this CAMP will be disseminated and lessons learned exchanged with other up-coming CAMP projects.
Among many positive aspects of this CAMP, the following three could be used as lessons for the future CAMPs. First, most of the CAMP activities, and in particular those related to regional spatial development, were prepared in parallel and in close co-ordination with the preparation of the regional development programme 2007-2013. Therefore, the harmonisation took place at various levels and the organisational structure used for the preparation of both plans was the same. Second, the organisational structure to include the Steering and the Project Committees has proved to be a successful one, although established temporarily for this project only. It is proposed to formalise it to become a permanent body at the regional level. And third, during the project implementation, many other activities related to the topics dealt with in the CAMP emerged, such as PlanCoast or PolyDev projects. See more: CAMP Slovenia
