The Interreg programs were created by EU to strengthen cohesion, reduce disparities between regions and encourage an optimal economic development. In order to do this they finance projects in a wide range of thematic fields from culture to protection of the environment. Generally Interreg programs are created between EU member countries (ETC). Other Interreg programs are created between a member of the EU and a country in the run up to EU accession (IPA CBC). The ENPI CBC programs rely on similar principals and contribute to create a space of sharing, of prosperity and a good relationship between the EU member countries and their neighbours.

Who organises the local events and what does these events look like?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           The Interreg and IEVP programs and projects organise local events aiming at putting the territorial cooperation in the spotlight. Bike rides, projects exhibition, circus shows, the possibilities are endless!
