Interact Office Vienna is very pleased to invite you to the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Regional Network of Interreg Programmes (ETC and IPA CBC), which will take place on 11 -12 December 2019 in Frankfurt, Germany. As every year, this meeting will be an occasion to meet each other again and exchange about the latest developments in cooperation programmes.

Based on the information we gathered during our daily work and exchange with the community of programme actors, as well as taking into account preparations for the 2021-2027 period we identified several interesting themes and prepared the preliminary agenda for this meeting.

This meeting will be a great occasion to discuss with the programmes and representative from the European Commission both recent developments related to Interreg Post 2020 as well as current implementation topics. Simplification is still the key theme of present and of the future. Therefore, Interact wants to provide a chance to programmes to exchange experiences and to support each other as well as to identify needs for support on the preparation for the new period.

We will also address some of the thematic issues and changes that new framework brings.

Please note, participation in this event is by invitation.
