CAPITALISATION THROUGH COORDINATION: AN EXPERIMENTAL CALL

Our final call is an experiment. It aims to take forward already existing project results in transnational partnerships that go beyond the Interreg community. We believe that coordination and cooperation with projects from directly-managed EU programmes like Horizon 2020 is central for taking forward the outputs and results of our current projects.

We closed this call for proposals on 5 July 2019. The assessment of the call has now entered a crucial stage following initial administrative checks. 23 applications comply and often go well beyond our minimum requirements, showing strong coordination effort with projects from directly-managed EU programmes as well as other Interreg projects.

New projects are expected to start activities in early 2020 with a funding of around 10 million Euro ERDF. 

There are no more calls planned in this programming period.

AN EXPERIMENT TO TAKE PROMISING PROJECT RESULTS FORWARD

The partnerships will roll out promising project outputs and results of already funded Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE projects at the regional and local level, or improve policy making. 

New project ideas had to build on complementing results and outputs from at least 3 different projects co-financed by Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE and directly-managed EU programmes such as Horizon 2020, LIFE, Connecting Europe Facility, etc. At least two of the projects had to be Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE projects.

AN EXPERIMENT TO JOIN FORCES ACROSS FUNDS

We were looking for a mix of Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE stakeholders and newcomers from projects funded under directly-managed EU programmes. We believe that cooperation beyond our Interreg community will be central to make results of our currently funded Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE projects even more effective. Additional partners from other Interreg projects, projects funded by mainstreaming programmes as well as complete newcomers were welcome.
