The TENS website is a resource pool for sustainable tourism entrepreneurship available online. PROWAD Link aims at seeding an eco-friendly business culture and practising the philosophy of sustainable development for small tourism businesses. This vision led to the development of tenseducation.com, a resource web page for enterprises, teachers, students, and others interested in sustainable entrepreneurship, particularly within the tourism sector. The recognition of the importance of sustainable development capacity building across the sector and appropriate skills and expertise are focal for fuelling the momentum of change within SMEs.

Analysis of funding opportunities for future project activities of the Trilateral Partnership in support of the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage Site
-
Since 1999, the Trilateral Wadden Sea Cooperation (TWSC) between Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands has periodically produced Wadden Sea Quality Status Reports (QSR) describing and evaluating the current ecological status of the Wadden Sea. The QSRs identify changes in this status and their possible causes, classify issues of concern and indicate possible measures of amelioration, including evaluation of the likely effectiveness of these measures. They also indicate gaps in our knowledge. The QSRs are based upon the Trilateral Monitoring and Assessment Programme (TMAP). The programme and the reports were key elements in achieving the inscription of major parts of the cooperation area on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Wadden Sea Funding Guide features a wealth of funding opportunities to support the collaborative, cross-sectoral trilateral work aligned with the core objectives of the trilateral Wadden Sea World Heritage partnership. It aims to provide professional assistance with the task of navigating through the wide range of programmes and associated sea of documentation of potential relevance to the Trilateral WSWH Partnership. The mapping of the funding guide draws multiple pathways for relevant activities, actions, and funding in different topics and scenarios which are relevant for many sectors. It also provides first hints to help manage the project development complex process. The Funding Guide is an important instrument that will support the Trilateral Partnership activities also beyond the Prowad Link project life-time and within the framework of the EU funding period 2021-2027.
