Project platforms: powering up cooperation across the Baltic Sea region
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.
Set for the Interreg adventure, connected for a bigger impact!
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.
Operations of Strategic Importance selected!
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!
