Lead Partner: Province of Zeeland
No of Project Partners (including Lead Partner): Eight
Participating countries: Netherlands, Belgium, France, United Kingdom
ERDF allocated (EUR): 325 000.00
Project Duration: 01.01.05 - 31.12.06
Questions to be analysed by the Project
- The need to improve the flow of experience within current INTERREG projects, focusing on the North Sea area, and to encourage wider participation in maritime cross-border issues within INTERREG by other maritime areas of Europe.
- The need for an enhanced exchange of knowledge, best practices and benchmarking, together with a better understanding of the relevance of maritime cross-border cooperation.
- The need to establish more consistent and better governance as well as cooperational structures in maritime projects.
Objectives
- Define the extent to which the results concerning maritime issues fed from INTERREG IIC into INTERREG III, how they contributed to the community initiative itself and how they could contribute to an INTERREG IV community initiative in terms of project types.
- Determine how the three strands (A, B & C) of INTERREG III are interacting and/or overlapping in geographical areas whilst focusing on the southern North Sea as an example.
- Create synergies and a maximum transfer of best practices and know-how on maritime projects throughout the whole INTERREG III programme and to improve the implementation of approved INTERREG maritime projects through better governance.
Expected outputs
- A small-scale Maritime Cross-Border Cooperation eCentre of Expertise to assist awareness raising activities and the formulation of future projects.
- A multilingual (English, French and Dutch) web-site on Maritime Cross-Border Cooperation including a Maritime Cross-Border Cooperation Guide of Practice for use in all European regions. Newsletters, leaflets, brochures and press articles.
- A European Maritime Cross-Border Cooperation seminar and high level master classes for representatives of the Executive Body of the regional authorities, including a full publicity campaign.
