The Carpathian Convention is closely cooperating with the EU Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG Regio) in mainstreaming and profiling mountains at EU level, both in the macro-regional strategies and through new possible initiatives, whose final aim will be the possibility to develop a "Mountain Agenda" for Europe.

Within this cooperation, an Expert Workshop on "Mountain Dimension in the Danube Region, the case of Carpathians. Challenges and Opportunities for Regional Cooperation in Mountain Areas", was held in Brussels on 25 November 2015.
As a follow up to the meeting, a Joint Synergy Paper between the Carpathian Convention and the relevant Priority
