There is a need for programmes around the Mediterranean Sea basin to improve their synergies and to reinforce interprogramme cooperation. This will ensure a higher impact of the resources implemented in the territory. For such coordination to be efficient and realist, the ground should be set during the programming process in order to have a smooth development in its implementation.

In the Mediterranean area, 2 meetings took place so far: The first one, last June, the focus was on "WHAT  theme to work jointly" and the second, last September, on "WHO does what" to ensure programme inter-coordination. 

This third meeting, in January 2020, will focus on "How to improve interprogramme coordination across Interreg programmes in the Mediterranean". Considering the following elements: 

• Existing Interreg interprogramme coordination initiatives in and out the Mediterranean area.
• Existing territorial frameworks in the area: EUSAIR and WESTMED.
• Nature of the different programmes Transnational and CBC (Interreg Internal bordes, Interreg NEXT and Interreg IPA.) 
• Definition and shape of common text to fill in section 1.2 and 2.1.1.1 of their Cooperation programmes.

Registration link is not facilitated since this meeting is under invitation.
