Conceived with the steering bodies of the Alpine Convention, DIAMONT aims to give a vital impulse to the relaunch of SOIA (System for Observation of and Information on the Alps). In consistence with SOIA’s new aims and the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP), DIAMONT will take into account the expectations of experts for regional development as well as the needs of the Alpine population. The DIAMONT network of specialists on Alpine development will advise SOIA on the elaboration of an Alpine wide information system and the selection of relevant data considering their validity and their aptitude for harmonization. This process will involve a test of pilot tools for regional development and discussions with the population in test regions. DIAMONT integrates cultural, regional and local factors into the analysis and preparation of a sustainable regional development. The project’s results will supply a method adaptable to other European mountain areas.

COST supports strategic workshops in order to provide the participants an opportunity to identified future research needs. The Strategic Workshop "Global Change and Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions" was convened at the Congress Hall of Innsbruck, Austria, from April 7-9, 2008. The event attracted more than 350 scientists, experts, practitioners, students, and scholars from 29 European and 10 non-European countries. It was based on three pillars 'keynotes', 'discussion groups', and 'presentations of ongoing projects'. The keynotes were presented by leading experts in their specific field and addressed current key research questions. The format of the discussion groups ensured that every participant could articulate his experiences and ideas. The project presentations gave an overview on ongoing activities, and were used as networking opportunities.
