Abstract

This milestone report compiles mid-term findings from the six case studies of the NaturaConnect project, each serving as a critical testing ground to understand the practical implications of TEN-N across diverse environmental and socio-political contexts and different spatial scales. These mid-term reports represent a starting point for identifying commonalities and challenges among case studies, offering guidance on the design and implementation of TEN-N.
