Interreg

What is an Interreg project?

Interreg programmes are cross-border cooperation programmes supported by European Regional Development Funds (ERDF). The strategy of the programme is based on the new Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth - a framework of objectives that the European Union wants to achieve by 2020.

The France-Wallonia-Flanders programme concerns French and Belgian regions that cooperate to remove the border and aims at supporting the economic and social exchanges between four border regions: Régions Hauts-de-France and Grand Est in France ; Wallonia, Western and Eastern Flanders in Belgium. The programme seeks to share knowledge and practices while developing the potentials of each region, and this, for the benefit of the population of this area.

The Interreg 2 Seas programme covers coastal areas along the southern part of the North Sea and English Channel. Four different Member States are involved: England, France, the Netherlands and Belgium (Flanders). The overall objective is to develop an innovative, knowledge and research based, sustainable and inclusive 2 Seas area, where natural resources are protected and the green economy is promoted.
