Woodland Wonders: art and forest for child mental wellness

Almost 300 guests, the charm of Finnish Tampere and a vibrant colour palette of transnational cooperation: the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme Conference held on 20-22 May 2025, brought to light the benefits of Interreg and the magic behind them.

From climate resilience to mental health, project platforms transform stand-alone solutions into true powerhouses of cooperation. These capitalisation initiatives, labelled Operations of Strategic Importance in Interreg Baltic Sea Region, connect project results, build bridges across programmes, and drive meaningful change throughout the Baltic Sea region.

On 19-20 March 2025, we met 21 lead partners of core projects about to start their activities. The seminar was designed to connect, provide information, and prepare partners for their incredible Interreg adventure.

Selection of eight Operations of Strategic Importance and a decision about a new call for small projects have been two of many highlights of the Monitoring Committee meeting held in Helsinki, Finland, on 4-5 March 2025!​
