The European Commission's programme for the period 2021-2027 supporting interregional cooperation.

The aim of the programme is to improve the implementation of regional development policies, including the Investment for Growth and Jobs programmes.

It will allow projects to carry out activities aimed at strengthening institutional capacity and exchanging good practices between entities involved in the implementation of regional policy, in all areas corresponding to the thematic focus of cohesion policy.

These are "soft" projects aimed at strengthening capacities, exchanging experience, transferring good practices and innovative solutions. Typical activities are conferences, workshops, preparation of strategies, action plans and procedures, study visit recommendations, training, pilot investments.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION/TIPS

Utilization at UWB: So far zero, and in the future completely minimal – more than ½ of the partners must be from the public administration (municipalities, regions, ministries) – practically unrealistic to discuss any project during the open call and obtain the consent of the public administration entity.
