During this time, the newspaper was gradually redesigned in the direction of reader-friendliness, clarity and regionalization. Valentin's particular concern was the opening of the content, which was also reflected in the change in the newspaper title: the Kärntner Tageszeitung became the Neue Kärntner Tageszeitung.

In 1998 Valentin completed his habilitation at the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz and was granted the license to teach general contemporary history as a university lecturer. The topic of his habilitation thesis was: National or International? Worker and national question. Shown using the example of Carinthia (1918–1934).

He was also active in the regional partnership between the Province of Carinthia and the Chernivtsi Oblast (Ukraine).

On May 1, 2004, he became Secretary General of the Alps-Adriatic Working Group and head of the Alps-Adriatic office of the Province of Carinthia . During this time, a structural reform of the Alps-Adriatic Working Group took place with the aim of simplifying organizational processes and improving internal communication. Valentin has been retired as a state official since the beginning of 2010.

In the 1970s and 1980s, he was involved in cultural policy with the International Music Forum Viktring , the Carinthian regional group of Amnesty International, the Hildebrand Gallery in Klagenfurt and the Solidarity Committee for the rights of Carinthian Slovenes.
