In the framework of Interact's capitalisation plan, the meeting intends to take stock of programme activities that were undertaken under the thematic objective 11 “enhancing institutional capacity of public authorities and stakeholders and efficient public administration” in Interreg and other cooperation activities. The meeting aims at establishing an exchange of experience across cooperation programmes (and others) and their management authorities with regard to the topic mentioned above and thereby lead to a discourse on how cooperation programmes can contribute to capacity development. It also intends to develop the thematic knowledge of participants via the exchange with academia, policy makers, and mainstream policies. In the course of the network’s development, the thematic objective will be broken down into sub-topics in order to enable in-depth discussion.
