The INTERREG IVB North West Europe Programme is a financial instrument of the European Union's Cohesion Policy. It funds projects which support transnational territorial cooperation. The aim is to find innovative ways to make the most of territorial assets and tackle shared problems of Member States, regions and other authorities.
Project Priorities
Four priorities for the transnational territorial cooperation Programme for North West Europe have been defined:
- Developing the NWE knowledge-based economy by capitalising on our capacity for innovation
- Sustainable management of natural resources and of natural and technological risks
- Improving connectivity in NWE by promoting intelligent and sustainable transport and ICT solutions
- Promoting strong and prosperous communities at transnational level
Projects to be funded under each of these four priorities have to incorporate three cross-cutting themes in their outline, methodology and actions, namely (1) to strengthen the economic competitiveness of NWE in response to the Lisbon agenda; (2) to increase the environmental sustainability of NWE in response to the Gothenburg agenda; and (3) to achieve a stronger territorial balance of NWE by reducing regional disparities reflecting the aim of the EU Cohesion Policy.
More detailed information can also be found on the INTERREG IVB North West Europe website which contains comprehensive details of the programme, including the programme documents, lists of projects and project ideas.
