The motto “Uniqueness is in diversity” sets the tone for the next exciting phase of the Interreg Central Europe programme. Officially unveiled at the conference “From Results to Impact: Cooperation Takes Synergies Forward”, the upcoming call—set to open in September 2025—aims to deepen collaboration across borders by transforming diversity into a strength for regional development.
What’s the Vision Behind the Call?
At its core, the call is about overcoming the barriers that still hinder the flow of people, ideas, and innovation between regions. The goal? A more connected, competitive, and resilient Central Europe.
The new funding opportunity focuses on capitalisation: building on the results of existing transnational and cross-border projects. Strategic projects are encouraged to scale up successful solutions, address emerging challenges, and create tangible territorial and political impacts that extend far beyond their original scope.
With a budget of 23 million euros, this call will fund initiatives that can clearly demonstrate how they bring added value—not by reinventing the wheel, but by evolving it.
MESTRI-CE Showcased as a Capitalisation Example
The MESTRI-CE project was featured in the session “Cooperation in Action: Building Impact Through Capitalisation”, highlighting how existing project outcomes can be transformed into broader solutions that matter.
