About APP4SEA
Combating oil spills in harsh, northern conditions is challenging with current technologies. Oil spills do not recognize national borders, and inefficiencies are brought by different practices and methods, which are used by different countries, as well as the challenges due to different sea and environmental conditions, and the variety of oil types used and transported by ship across the NPA region.
APP4SEA will unite coastal authorities, pool their competences and data on oil weathering, share best practices in oil spill response technologies and models. By learning from each other, the authorities can response faster and more efficiently in order to minimize environmental and social impacts of oil-in-water accidents
About the Interreg Project Slam
The ‘Interreg Projects Slam 2019’ is part of the work implemented by Interact Programme, within a series of events aimed at promoting innovative communication approaches related to capitalisation of Interreg results. Specific thematic events have been organised in the fields identified for Interact Capitalisation Networks over the past years (Migration, Climate Change, Transport, Inclusive Growth, etc.). The aim of these events is to demonstrate how Interreg works and how its cooperation model could be enlarged/transferred. The project slams target wider audiences, outside of the general group of Interreg stakeholders and beneficiaries.
