The multidisciplinary research project "PROGEOPiemonte" aims to achieve a new conceptual and operational discipline in the management of the geological heritage of the Piemonte Region by means of the development of techniques for recognizing and managing its rich geodiversity at the local and regional scale. After a systematic review of inventoried geosites, 9 strategic geothematic areas will be investigated to represent the geodiversity of Piemonte, each characterized by high potential for scientific studies, enhancement of public understanding of science, recreation activities and for economic support to local communities. Geological history, climate and environmental changes, natural hazards, soil processes and georesources will be popularized not only with geosites but also with museum collections, evidences of mining activity and quarrying, science exhibits and nature trails. The recognition of the economic value of geodiversity will lead to the production of regional guidelines for Geoconservation integrated quality management system, suitable for tourism and sustainable development strategies. In details will be based on the TIQMS (Territorial Integrated Quality Management System). TIQMS allows the user to analyse a region by many points of view, regarding quality, landscape, environmental, occupational health and safety, and social accountability aspects.

Abstract
The multidisciplinary research project "PROGEOPiemonte" aims to achieve a new conceptual and operational discipline in the management of the geological heritage of the Piemonte Region by means of the development of techniques for recognizing and managing its rich geodiversity at the local and regional scale. After a systematic review of inventoried geosites, 9 strategic geothematic areas will be investigated to represent the geodiversity of Piemonte, each characterized by high potential for scientific studies, enhancement of public understanding of science, recreation activities and for economic support to local communities. Geological history, climate and environmental changes, natural hazards, soil processes and georesources will be popularized not only with geosites but also with museum collections, evidences of mining activity and quarrying, science exhibits and nature trails. The recognition of the economic value of geodiversity will lead to the production of regional guidelines for Geoconservation integrated quality management system, suitable for tourism and sustainable development strategies. In details will be based on the TIQMS (Territorial Integrated Quality Management System). TIQMS allows the user to analyse a region by many points of view, regarding quality, landscape, environmental, occupational health and safety, and social accountability aspects.
