Open Days Workshop "Added value and efficiency through the use of article 37.6 b and the EGTC," 11 October 2011

20.06.2011
INTERACT is organising a workshop to show the results and concrete achievements of the pilot group on "Cooperation in Objectives 1 and 2," which was established at the end of 2010 and has been running the whole of 2011.

The establishment of the pilot on "Cooperation in Objectives 1 and 2" proved to be very interesting for recipients who actively participated in the network and provided evidence of a fuller understanding of cooperation not limited to the framework of Objective 3.

This initiative was inserted in the INTERACT workplan because of the encouragement expressed by the European Commission in using the instrument of this article and of EGTC and the interest shown by a number of European Regions wanting to implement closer cooperation and exchanges between the objectives of Cohesion Policy.

The panel will associate DG Regional Policy, INTERACT and several EU Regions (both Objective 1 and 2), which will illustrate:

- good examples that already existed

- examples of new regions that tried to develop projects

- the network that was formed

- recommendations for the future implementation of the article after 2014

- the links with EGTC

The final date and venue are now visible on the Open days website. The workshop will take place on Tuesday, 11 October 2011 from 11.15 to 13.00.
