From Results to Impact: Cooperation Takes Synergies Forward

Date: 27.05.2025
A hybrid conference titled “From Results to Impact: Cooperation Takes Synergies Forward” took place in Vienna on May 27, 2025 under the Interreg CENTRAL programme. Its core aim was to discuss how to enhance the impact of Interreg-funded projects across Central Europe. 

Key Themes

1.    Transitioning from project outputs to real-world impact through stronger cross-border collaboration and result capitalization.

2.    Launching a new call for proposals designed to foster synergies and build partnerships based on existing achievements.

Green LAMIS (Greening the LAst MIle of Social Services) is an Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE project that focuses on integrating green, sustainable practices into the final delivery phase of social services—often the most resource- and emission-intensive segment. It targets:

  • Greener transport and mobility for service providers,
  • Reduced carbon footprint in social infrastructure,
  • And integration of climate-conscious strategies in local welfare planning.

 

But how can Green LAMIS contribute to creating greater impact through cooperation and networking?

1. Climate Change Resilience

A lot of projects focus on climate-proof planningresilience to weather extremes, and socio-economic impacts of climate change—core areas where Green LAMIS contributes through climate adaptation in social sectors. Projects like MAURICEUrbanBlueHealth, and LOCALIENCE share Green LAMIS’s focus on resilience-building at the community level—a potential synergy zone for future cooperation.

2. Strategic Capitalisation Fit:

  • Green LAMIS can downstream and upscale its tested last-mile models for use in healthcare, elder care, or educational services facing climate-related disruptions.
  • Its green delivery tools could integrate with climate-resilient urban or rural planning frameworks.

 

Transport and Urban Mobility

Thematic Link:

  • Green LAMIS green logisticsmobility planning, and urban accessibility strategies align directly with the themes of:
    • Reduction of GHGs from urban transport
    • Sustainable urban mobility planning
    • Improved accessibility in peri-urban areas
  • It shares space with projects like GreenPATHOPTI-UP, and NXTLVL Parking, indicating shared goals around sustainable last-mile transport.

Strategic Capitalisation Fit:

  • Green LAMIS’s models (e.g. eco-friendly routes for care workers, energy-efficient logistics for food or medicine delivery) can be integrated with demand-responsive transport (like DREAM_PACE) and green urban mobility infrastructure.
  • This is especially relevant in low-density or peripheral areas where public transport alone is insufficient.

💡 Key Capitalisation Opportunities for Green LAMIS

Synergy Theme

Potential Actions

Climate adaptation in welfare services

Join forces with projects focused on socio-economic impacts of climate change to integrate green service models into climate-resilient planning.

 

Sustainable urban & peri-urban mobility

 

Collaborate with mobility projects to embed social service routes into green urban logistics and smart transport hubs.

 

Cross-border resilience

 

Green LAMIS could partner with projects in regions with similar challenges, replicating or adapting tools across borders under the strategic capitalisation call.

 

Digital and tactical tools

 

Leverage or co-develop ICT systems and planning apps for scheduling, routing, or carbon tracking of last-mile services.

 

 

 

Green LAMIS stands at a strategic intersection of climate resilience and sustainable mobility It has strong potential to:

  • Contribute to upcoming capitalisation calls by combining its outputs with those of at least two other Interreg CE or cross-border projects,
  • Position itself as a bridge between social innovation and environmental transition, and
  • Promote a green last-mile model adaptable across Central Europe, especially in vulnerable or under-served areas.
