Join our event co-organised by ITEM and Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) during the European Week of Regions and Cities
The freshly approved BRIDGEforEU Regulation will help local authorities improve life in border regions for citizens, administrations and businesses. How can existing tools like the b-solutions initiative and Interreg help shape the new regulation? What role can Interreg programmes play? What are the current experiences with ISO 1 Interreg projects and how does that translate to the set-up of Cross-Border Coordination Points? In a joint dialogue enriched with audience Q&A and an interactive panel, we aim to bring past experiences from various border regions to the benefit of the nascent BRIDGEforEU Regulation and the implications for cohesion post-2027.
