Development of the Programme Strategy

The European Commission has identified policy objectives and Interreg-specific objectives for the programming period 2021-2027. Of the defined objectives a maximum of three policy objecgives and one Interreg-specific objective can be chosen.

  • Smarter Europe and its neighbourhood
  • Greener Europe and its neighbourhood
  • Europe and its neighbourhood closer to their citizens
  • Better cooperation governance for Europe and its neighbourhood
