Our final call was an experiment. It aims to take forward already existing project results in transnational partnerships that go beyond the Interreg community. We believe that coordination and cooperation with projects from directly-managed EU programmes like Horizon 2020 is central for taking forward the outputs and results of our current projects.
On 4 December 2019, our programme countries selected nine new cooperation projects for funding.
In early 2020 they started to capitalise on results from previous Interreg and other EU-funded projects.

WHAT WAS THIS CALL ABOUT?
The partnerships will roll out promising project outputs and results of already funded Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE projects at the regional and local level, or improve policy making. New project ideas had to build on complementing results and outputs from at least 3 different projects co-financed by Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE and directly-managed EU programmes such as Horizon 2020, LIFE, Connecting Europe Facility, etc. At least two of the projects had to be Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE projects.
We were looking for a mix of Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE stakeholders and newcomers from projects funded under directly-managed EU programmes. We believe that cooperation beyond our Interreg community will be central to make results of our currently funded Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE projects even more effective. Additional partners from other Interreg projects, projects funded by mainstreaming programmes as well as complete newcomers were welcome.
