The RECOTTE ‘RECOnversion des Territoires par la Transition Ecologique’ (land regeneration for ecological transition) project has launched its new website to help accompany and assist local stakeholders in their ecological transition processes. The website, available in French, German and English shares the projects ambitions and objectives as well as will be centre project results and events.

What is the RECOTTE project?

The RECOTTE project is centred on the ecological transition issue at the local cross-border level. Ecological transition cannot be achieved without the involvement of citizens and institutional support, and this is the only means of stimulating the changes necessary to adapt our ways of life and fostering a universal acceptance of the objectives and measures to make ecological transition a success across national borders. Therefore the RECOTTE project aims to bring together relevant stakeholders in local cross-border communities and draw attention to convergent and complementary needs to achieve ecological transition in three specific target cross-border areas.

LISER’s role in RECOTTE

LISER researcher, Dr. Frédéric Durand, is project’s PI and is animating the consortium and planning activities. In addition, LISER is leading two work packages and will assist the project by identifying local actors (public, private, civil), designing a questionnaire, conducting interviews, conducting data treatments and finding convergences through discourse network analysis.
