ETC 2014+
With the publication of the draft legal package for 2014-2020, preparation for next programming period is now underway. In this section you can consult the draft legal package, presentations, INTERACT working documents on 2014-2020, future-related events, meetings and much more.

Although European politicians may not have yet agreed what a “United Europe” should look like, European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) programmes are among those believing in and creating one. Yes, the vision of such a Europe may differ and yes, across Europe the level of integration and cooperation may vary in depth and maturity, but one thing is for sure – the European Territorial Cooperation objective is an inexpensive and fast way to take down physical borders, integrate societies and reduce stereotypes.
Today, more than ever, Europe needs to cooperate – no European country alone is able to withstand the global competition and face challenges in the modern day world. The debates are open to everyone who is willing to contribute to the process. Following an encouragement from the Member States and the ETC Programmes, INTERACT is engaging programme practitioners in shaping the future because every devoted contribution counts!
In this section of the website you can find information on the latest developments regarding the preparation of the next programming period.
