2014-2020 topics on a stage

Interreg Europe 2014-2020

Go back in time with us to see what we did in the previous programming period.

Interregional cooperation has existed for over two decades. The present programme's predecessors were Interreg IIIC (2000-2006), Interreg IVC (2007-2013) and Interreg Europe (2014-2020). To give you a better feel for the 2014-2020 programme we've put together an overview below. Have a look.

Basic facts

Interreg Europe's aim was to help regional and local governments across Europe to develop and deliver better policy. This objective has stayed the same for the current programme.

The previous programme had a budget of MEUR 359 from the European Regional Development Fund. The budget funded 258 projects and the policy-learning services offered by the Policy Learning Platform.

Programme calls

Funding for Interreg Europe projects in 2014-2020 was allocated through four open calls for project proposals and one call for additional activities restricted to previously approved projects.

Each call had an opening and a closing date. Outside of these dates it was not possible to apply for funding for a project proposal. Applications were submitted online through the Interreg Europe online system (iOLF).

Each call had specific terms of reference specifying the maximum amount of funding available, the topics opened for funding or minimum geographical coverage, for example.

Programme achievements

In 2014-2020 programme, the main focus was on supporting the public managing authorities and intermediate bodies in charge of Structural Funds programmes. Their involvement in the cooperation projects and other policy-learning activities was of a strategic importance.

Achievements of our projects

25% of all project partners represented these strategic institutions. This played an important role in influencing many national or regional Structural Funds programmes with good practices shared by partners in their projects. Over MEUR 1,200 have already been mobilised to fund new activities inspired by these good practices.
