INTERACT I
INTERACT I primarily focused on the immediate needs and the support of the INTERREG initiative. It aimed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the community initiative as well as contribute to its quality.
INTERACT I provided support for the implementation of the three strands of the Community Initiative INTERREG. The main target groups were management bodies and key stakeholders of 62 Cross-border, 13 Transnational and 4 Interregional programmes. The core target group at management level included Managing and Paying Authorities, Joint Technical Secretariats, public administrations and programme committees involved in the steering, management and control of INTERREG III programmes at national, regional and local level. 25 Member States, two candidate countries (Bulgaria and Romania) and two Assiciated Countries (Norway and Switzerland) participated in INTERACT I.
INTERACT I services were delivered by five INTERACT Points spread across Europe, and the INTERACT Programme Secretariat.
Unlike the current programme, INTERACT I had projects which were funded out of Priority 2 and Priority 3 Measure 2.
- Priority 2 of the Programme is aimed at developing local and regional initiatives that will contribute to the development of the institutions involved in the INTERREG programme.
- Priority 3 Measure 2 of the Programme is aimed at developing projects that will contribute to the development of joint cooperation tools and mechanisms at the external border.
More information on the INTERACT I Projects can be found on the menu on the left hand side of this page.
The Managing Authority of the INTERACT I Programme was the Austrian Federal Chancellery.
