Capitalisation is a relevant asset and a central goal for EU Programmes, and in
particular for the MED programme. With capitalisation, EU policies seek for
better transferability in order to:
»
cherish experience;
»
learn from failure;
»
promote change;
»
support creativity and sharing;
»
build the future;
»
produce new skills on Mediterranean level;
»
provoke action with useful existing skills;
»
work for joint solutions to shared problems;
»
enhance local and national actions.
Capitalisation is the transformation of relevant skills towards information that
can be used by others and mutualize productions and achievements in the Med-
iterranean space
In the Enerscapes project, capitalisation acts at several levels – for other EU ter-
ritories, the Mediterranean area, at regional and local level – and it is related to
integrated planning, tools for landscape integration, tools for territorial analysis,
participation and governance.
The methodology, as briefly presented in chapter 2 (for the extended version,
see the CD-ROM), is intended to support Municipalities and Regions of Eu-
rope in enacting a process of integrated planning, correlating Enerscapes values
and RES development. The first set of actions to be capitalised is the analytical
one: in the Enerscapes project, partners elaborated and tested tools for territorial
analysis which can be adopted by Municipalities and implemented through GIS
