IRT is an independent public administration unit of the Lower Silesia local government structures. It deals with the development policy and spatial planning. Strategic activities of IRT include:
- Providing solid and complex expertise on territorial development
- Establishing and maintaining cooperation in terms of territorial cooperation
- Stimulating development initiatives based on principles worked out and promoted by the Institute.
The project profile is in line with IRT activity that includes charting directions for sustainable development, implementing its principles, spatial planning, space development, environmental protection as well as educational, informative, promotional and editing initiatives in the domain. Furthermore, the Institute concentrates on encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation with public authorities, investors and local communities in terms of territorial development policies, exchange of good practices with institutions and other units that act for territorial development. IRT also offers assistance in conflict solving related to spatial planning, which in the context of this project seems to be of extreme value.
