First call for proposals open for INTERREG IVC programme
The first INTERREG IVC call for proposals was launched on 21st September
2007 and will close on 15th January 2008.
Authorities and stakeholders at local and regional level
have a vital role to play in the achievement of the EU’s strategies
for growth, jobs and sustainable development. The exchange, sharing &
transfer of policy experience, knowledge and good practices will contribute
to the success of this objective.
The INTERREG IVC Programme is part of the European
Territorial Cooperation Objective of the Structural Fund
policies for the period 2007-2013. It
aims, by means of interregional cooperation,
to improve the effectiveness of regional development policies
and contribute to economic modernisation and increased competitiveness of
Europe, by:
- Enabling local and regional actors across the EU to exchange their experiences and knowledge;
- Matching regions less experienced in a certain policy field with more advanced regions;
- Ensuring the transfer of good practices into Structural Funds mainstream programmes.
