Client/Funding Institution

European Observation Network, Territorial Development and Cohesion (ESPON)

Abstract

As one of the two main goals of EU Cohesion Policy, European Territorial Cooperation fosters cooperation between Member States and their regions inside the EU as well as between Member States, their regions and third countries to overcome border-related barriers and achieve shared prosperity. This project focuses on the 13 transnational Interreg programmes implemented in the 2021-2027 period under European Territorial Cooperation: North Sea, Northern Periphery and Arctic, Baltic Sea Region, North West Europe, Alpine Space, Central Europe, Atlantic Area, South West Europe, Danube Area, Euro Mediterranean Area, IPA Adriatic-Ionian, NEXT Black Sea, and NEXT Mediterranean Sea. By collecting and analysing data on the development dynamics, functional linkages and opportunities of the respective cooperation areas, the project aims to contribute to the preparation of the policy framework for Interreg transnational cooperation and the related programmes in the post-2027 period.
