Interreg Live! from Duisburg with Ulrike Nagel. Ulrike was already hard at work on preparations early that day. Watch the video for a sneak peek at the atmosphere on location.
Tothem, a German marketing agency, served as the moderator at the kick-off of the Interreg VI Netherlands-Germany program. Due to COVID-19, the festive opening was postponed several times but finally took place on April 20, 2022. This Interreg program runs from 2021 through 2027, and during today’s event, we heard plenty of best practices on how to navigate the application process as smoothly as possible. We are, of course, proud of our collaboration with the Interreg Secretariat in Kleve to bring this event to fruition.
What? Everything you need to know about the start of the new 2021–2027 program period. Who? Stakeholders from politics, public administration, the business community, academia, and civil society within the program area.
This event was available to watch via a livestream.
About the Interreg VI Program
Europe’s border regions are the connecting links of the European Union. Through cross-border cooperation, national borders in Europe are becoming increasingly irrelevant. To support this cross-border cooperation, the European Union has established the Interreg grant program.
Financial Support for Cross-Border Projects
For the Dutch-German border region, approximately 450 million euros will be available for the period 2021–2027. The objectives to be achieved with these funds are outlined in the “Interreg Deutschland-Nederland” cooperation program.
The program’s main objectives are “a more innovative program area,” “a greener program area,” “collaborating on a connected border region,” and “a Europe closer to its citizens in the border region.”
You may submit a project application as a public or private legal entity, organization, or company. Only projects in which Dutch and German partners collaborate will be funded. Project funding always consists of a contribution from the partners themselves, EU grant funds (usually up to 50%), and often also national and regional grant funds (for example, from ministries or provinces).
