Projects can be submitted under all 3 Priorities
The 3rd Call for projects will open for all three Priorities. Besides main projects in priority 1 and 2, Interreg NPA is looking forward to funding small-scale capacity building projects in Priority 3.
The novelty of Priority 3, is that it aims to build the cooperation capacity and experience among the stakeholders in the NPA area, leading to the development of more resilient communities. Actions funded in this priority are developing and transferring concepts to engage stakeholders in cooperation based on local knowledge, and supporting them to implement strategies for Northern Periphery and Arctic regions.
- PRIORITY 1: Strengthening the innovation capacity for resilient and attractive NPA communities
- PRIORITY 2: Strengthening the capacity for climate change adaptation, and resource sufficiency in NPA communities
- PRIORITY 3: Strengthening the organisational capacity among NPA communities to make use of cooperation opportunities
