Interreg IVB NWE Niche for sustainable communities! • Need for transnational cooperation: tackle challenges that can not be addressed at national, regional or local level. • Tangible outputs: go beyond networking, plans, studies and training, implement investments, pilots, concrete actions that create wide territorial impact and leverage investment. • Capitalisation on previous results: consider what was already funded and delivered and build on the previous results. Capitalise on regional economic potential to increase attractiveness of cities, towns, rural areas. • Strong transnational partnerships: bring together key actors in the field and involve all relevant stakeholders to create change, influence policies and improve regional performance. • Targeted Calls: for “strategic” projects with thematic focus on demographic change & immigration challenges.
