Abstract

The Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) promotes and coordinates research on global change in mountain regions around the world. In its eight years of existence it has actively participated in the design of an international research agenda. The Global Change and Mountain Regions (GLOCHAMORE) Research Strategy, a product stemming from an FP6 Support Action, is at the core of the MRI. It identifies gaps and formulates priorities for future activities in mountain research. Through its regional networks, MRI catalyzes the interdisciplinary research described in the GLOCHAMORE Strategy. Within the European network, the recent establishment of the Science for the Carpathians (S4C) initiative is an encouraging signal for the strong will and interest of research communities to steer mountain research toward international and interdisciplinary collaboration. Mountain scientists working in the Balkan Region could take the Carpathian initiative as an example to build up a science network in and for Southeastern Europe.
