Building on the positive experience of the 1st network meeting of finance officers of CBC programmes, Interact is organising the 2nd network meeting for experienced finance officers of Interreg CBC programmes.

This meeting will continue the exchange and network activities between the finance officers of the cross-border programmes. The event is designed to create a space for exchange on various finance-related issues, relevant for all cross-border programmes. Participants will gain an understanding and overview of approaches applied by different programmes when tackling financial issues; they will share ideas and work together towards solutions to common challenges.

The draft agenda provides an overview of topics that could be of interest for finance officers from all Interreg CBC programmes. However, the list of topics to be discussed during the event is open. This is due to the objective of the network event, i.e. to respond to the programmes' needs and challenges. Thus, the agenda's items remain subject to adjustment, in line with the information collected from the participants during the registration.

This is why we kindly ask you to indicate upon registration which topics are 'hot' for your programme at the moment. Please name several and don't hesitate to provide details! We also invite you to indicate whether you would be available for a short presentation/on-the-spot comments to contribute to the discussion/exchange of experiences.

This network meeting is targeting experienced finance officers, working at the joint secretariats/managing authorities of the Interreg CBC programmes.
