Celebrating 30 years of Interreg: summary

21 Dec 2020

All along 2020, we have celebrated 30 years of Interreg and cooperation in all its shapes. As the second pillar of the Cohesion policy, European Territorial Cooperation is at the heart of the European spirit because it encourages regions and countries to tackle challenges they can solve only by working together.

The celebrations throughout 2020 provided the opportunity to demonstrate the achievements so far, but also the chance to focus on the future by contributing to the debate on cooperation policy post 2020.

From projects taking part in several EU-wide campaigns to joint activities with other Interreg transnational programmes.
