Good practices
What is a good practice?
A good practice is defined as an initiative related to regional development policy which has proved to be successful in a region and which is of potential interest to other regions.
Although we primarily refer to good practices, valuable learning can also come from unsuccessful practices. Lessons learnt from unsuccessful experiences are also taken into consideration in the exchange of experience process. You can find more information in our programme manual.
Examples of good practices can be found in the good practice database.
