Representatives from nine Programme area countries gathered in Berlin on 19-20 November 2025 to review the progress of the Programme’s implementation and start preparing for the post-2027 period.

At this year’s EUSBSR Annual Forum in Sopot, the session “Beyond Borders: Interreg Results in Action for a Resilient and Safe Baltic Sea Region” showcased how Interreg Baltic Sea Region projects are transforming challenges into policy-relevant results that strengthen resilience, safety, and cooperation across the region. The session brought together project partners, EUSBSR policy area coordinators, members of the Programme Monitoring Committee and young participants to explore what it takes to turn project outcomes into lasting policy impact.

A room full of people waving their green and orange cards, prominent panelists on stage, and a clear hero of the day: territorial cooperation, making the Baltic Sea region feel like home. The joint session during this year’s EU Week of Regions and Cities was filled with positive energy, commitment and hopes for the future. What stood out most?

The third call for small projects closed with 100 submitted applications and a whole lot of ambition. From existing challenges to transnational answers, these initiatives are proving that small can be mighty in the Baltic Sea region.
