Your entry door for successful cross-border cooperation: Fit4Cooperation’s bottom up approach & Interreg Europe’s peer review tool/Participatory Labs

Fit4Co CBO and Interreg Europe foster European cooperation by engaging local actors to boost growth, competitiveness, and resilience. Fit for Cooperation features the EGTCs Euregio Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino and Euregio Senza Confini as key drivers of cross-border cooperation. While following a shared bottom-up approach, the two EGTCs use distinct methods: one helps local authorities access EU funding, the other provides budgets to public bodies in cross-border partnerships. The peer review by Interreg Europe helps public authorities tackle local policy challenges through interregional policy learning. The lab will engage the audience in exploring solutions for local actors to cooperate.
