The assessment and selection of projects is most probably the decisive step in the project management cycle of an Interreg programme. To fund projects with high value-added in compliance with the programme objectives is the key purpose for every Interreg programme.

In close cooperation with colleagues from DG Regio we want to focus on these two steps. The first webinar focuses on the building blocks and technical requirements. In the second webinar we would like to focus on the process and practical implications.

Seemingly, there is still work to be done in that regard. The European Court of Auditor’s (ECA) Report on Interreg has revealed that selection is one of the major deficiencies in many programmes and a significant number of projects fails to achieve sustainable results; the latter point indicates another challenge which is linked to deficiencies in
selection.

In this webinar we will focus on the process from different but quite practical
perspectives.

You will have the opportunity to hear and share reflections about the major milestones:

• Assessment work
• Preparation of decision-making
• Taking the decision

Objectives

In close cooperation with colleagues from DG Regio we invite representatives from all programmes to join our event in order to:

• Hear and share reflections on assessment and selection
• Collect your questions, doubts and concerns
• Search for answers, solutions and common sense

Who is it for?

Please note that the target group for this workshop is staff from managing authorities (MA) and joint secretariats (JS), national authorities (NA) but also Monitoring Committee (MC) members and staff from other bodies working closely on the subject.
