According to Article 22(4) point (c) of the Interreg Regulation, Interreg programmes should select those operations that maximise the contribution of EU funding to the achievement of the objectives of the programme. Namely, programmes should select those projects that best represent value for money.

This value-for-money event is targeted at interested programmes with the aim of establishing a working group to explore and define suitable approaches, tools, and challenges when tackling value for money.

Interact is inviting you to discuss the value for money practices and kick off a series of working group meetings to explore how value for money is handled in Interreg programmes throughout the programme lifecycle (project idea generation – development/assessment – monitoring/implementation – evaluation).

Who is it for

This meeting is targeted at a small group of participants (max. 20-25 participants). The condition of participation in this meeting is that you will share any value-for-money approaches, analyses, and/or tools applied by your programme.

At the kick-off meeting, together we will establish the working group and we will agree on the next steps and working group meetings (2-3 online meetings during 2023 including the IKF session). Together we will also establish the framework for the work and agree on the working methods.

Kindly note: the working group’s objective is to discuss and exchange practices and approaches. Active participation and involvement are a prerequisite and are expected from all the participants, so please register only if you are ready to contribute and share.
