During the events organised by Interact in 2016, it was concluded that coordination and cooperation among Interreg programmes and beyond is not yet a daily practice but rather an exception. Therefore in late 2016 Interact established a group of representatives of Interreg programmes to develop and describe practical models for coordination and cooperation (Task Force).

The 1^st Task Force meeting was held on 20 December in Berlin, Germany. The meeting aimed at getting to know each other, sharing expectations towards the outcome of the Task Force work, agreeing on tasks as well as identifying some coordination and cooperation practices that would be further described. Following the meeting the first descriptions of the coordination and cooperation models were drafted. The Task Force will continue working on the model descriptions in its upcoming meeting.

The Task Force is open for programmes interested to join.
