INTERREG
The European Union's Interreg co-operation objective aims to
support cross-border, transnational and inter-regional co-operation
between different European Member States. The Interreg programmes
have been and will continue to be a key vehicle for local
authorities and organisations to work with EU partners on projects
of common interest.
Organisations in Kent have participated in various Interreg
programmes since 1991 including the Franco-British
Interreg IIIa Programme from 2000-2006. Kent is also part of
the eligible area for several new
Interreg IV programmes for the period 2007-2013.
Other EU funding
EU funds are available for policy priorities. A list of these is
published once a year by the European Commission. These are
generally for revenue projects promoting the exchange of good
practice, or testing innovative services. In almost all cases they
require international partnerships; three partners from different
EU member states is usually the minimum. Most programmes require
match-funding with the amount varying from programme to programme.
