INTERACT - General Information
INTERACT is part of the Community Initiative INTERREG. The programme seeks to build on the experience and lessons of INTERREG I and INTERREG II in order to increase the effectiveness of INTERREG III during the current programming period.
The INTERACT Programme was approved by the European Commission on 16 December 2002 and is financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The official Programme Documents have been revised to encompass EU Accession and are available for download.
INTERACT has a wide geographic scope covering the 25 current and new EU Member States and neighbouring countries.
The core of the INTERACT Programme is to set up information and communication networks, to define information frameworks and flows, to proactively disseminate information and to stimulate exchange of experiences.
