The last forty years were a period when mechanisms of transborder cooperation in the Upper Rhine region were formed. The troubled past of the French-Swiss-German border territory no longer blocks the way of partners across the Rhine to seek practical solutions to problems in the life of the inhabitants of those areas. From the perspective of Paris or Berlin, the Upper Rhine region is not infrequently seen to be peripheral and unimportant, but in fact it lies in the centre of Europe and is one of the richest areas in the European Union. Opportunities that follow from such a location motivate local communities to tighten mutual ties and develop various forms of cooperation (e.g. the RegioTriRhena Council, the Upper Rhine Conference, Trilateral Congresses, the Upper Rhine Eurodistricts). Many of those are pioneering initiatives that serve as models for other European border regions.
