CREWS project showcased at the Interreg Federal Conference in Berlin

Organised by the German Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) under the theme “Interreg in Transition: Working Together for Strong Regions – Results, Experiences and Perspectives for Transnational Cooperation,” the conference highlighted the growing importance of cross-border cooperation in addressing Europe’s shared challenges. Discussions focused on climate adaptation, sustainable mobility, digitalisation, the circular economy, regional transformation, and the long-term impact of Interreg projects.

Representing the CREWS project, Birgit Gutenmorgen, Project Coordinator at the City of Hamburg, District of Hamburg-Altona, took part in the conference’s opening panel, where she introduced the project’s approach to strengthening community resilience. The discussion highlighted that CREWS is the only project represented at the conference that addresses resilience beyond climate adaptation. Instead, CREWS takes a broader perspective, focusing on protecting and strengthening communities, including through improved civil protection and preparedness.

The conference also provided valuable opportunities for networking and knowledge exchange. Through presentations, panel discussions, thematic forums, and the Interreg Marketplace, participants shared experiences, explored new partnerships, and discussed how transnational cooperation can continue to deliver practical solutions for Europe’s regions.
