Interreg Solutions for Local Challenges: How Cooperation Supports Peripheral and Border regions in central Europe

The socio-economic vitality of central Europe is closely tied to the strength of its peripheral regions. This interactive talk will delve into how Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE is strategically addressing long-term structural disadvantages through targeted transnational cooperation. We present two complementary support mechanisms: small-scale projects targeting the specific needs of peripheral and lagging areas, and the strategic projects for capitalisation, tackling border issues, in synergy with cross-border projects. Join us to discover concrete examples and discuss why enabling the 'right to stay' is essential for building resilience and fostering a more balanced, prosperous central Europe.
