About

European Territorial Cooperation (ETC), also known as Interreg Europe, is a key component of the European Union that promotes policy cohesion by providing a framework for the implementation of joint actions and policy exchanges between national, regional, and local actors from various Member States. It promotes cross-border cooperation to develop and deliver better policy through programs and projects. Interreg Europe ensures government investments, innovation, and implementation efforts all lead to integrated and sustainable impact for people and place, with the goal of creating an environment and opportunities for sharing solution and policy learning.
