From priorities to practical action: Interreg Baltic Sea Region and the EUSBSR
For over 15 years, Interreg Baltic Sea Region has worked side by side with the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). Together, we turn agreed priorities into practical results, from cleaner coasts and safer shipping to greener energy and circular economy innovations.
