Interact is happy to invite finance staff of cross-border programmes to continue the exchange and network activities. 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.

This agenda provides an overview of topics that could be of interest for finance officers from all Interreg CBC and IPA – CBC programmes. However, the list of topics to be discussed during the event is not exhaustive. This is due to the primary goal of the network event, i.e. to respond to the programmes’ needs and challenges. Thus, the agenda items remain subject to adjustment, in line with the information collected from the participants during the registration.

Objectives

The main objective of the meeting is to work on several subjects related to the financial management of the 2014-2020 and 2021-2027 programmes. These subjects can include simplified cost options and technical assistance flat rate for 2021-2027.

This network meeting is targeting experienced finance officers, working at the joint secretariats/managing authorities of Interreg CBC and IPA – CBC programmes. To ensure participation of a wide range of programmes and interactive approach in the meeting, the participation should be limited to 2 representatives per programme/ Member State (depending on demand).
