Introduction

Dear readers,

It has been a busy last six months for ATTRACTIVE DANUBE project.  We have carried out and completed many tasks and events along the way, which we are very eager and willing to share with everybody.

Platforms of territorial attractiveness indicators

Common territorial attractiveness monitoring platform and its national variations (National territorial attractiveness monitoring platforms) are in operation.  Each are being updated with the required and relevant data as to make the platforms a modern and practical tool for all groups of users. Who could be the user?  Public authorities (state, regional, local), business sector, academia, NGOs, wide public. Try and test common platform and national ones.
