摘要：In the period of July – September 2009 the project of the International Summer School "A Metropolis with a Green Heart" and follow-up activities were organised and managed under the leadership of two Slovak universities: the Comenius University in Bratislava (Faculty of Natural Sciences) and the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (Institute of Management) in close cooperation with partner universities from Visegrad countries. The Summer School "A Metropolis with a Green Heart" was organized in Bratislava (July 6- 11, 2009) as an accompanying event of the European IALE Conference 2009 (Salzburg, Austria, July 12-16, 2009) and was open to Master/PhD students and early stage scientists. The school was also supported by the International Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE). The Summer School represented the activity supporting exchange of information in the field of education and sciences (e.g. planning system, protection of the environment) and cross-border cooperation among participants and lecturers from Visegrad countries but also other countries. Five follow-up activities were organised (in Salzburg, Austria; in Lednice and Ustí nad Labem, Czech Republic and in Bratislava, Slovak Republic) with the aim to disseminate the information about results of the Summer School. All participants of the Summer School and visitors of follow-up activities also received a lot of information about Visegrad cooperation and examples of common projects of the Visegrad countries with its neighbors from the Central European Region (e.g. Austria). Very important examples of the best practice were presented from transboundary cooperation between Bratislava and Vienna about new visions for cooperation in the central European region (e.g. project JORDES+ and CENTROPE).
