For 35 years, Interreg has represented a cornerstone of European integration, promoting cross - border, transnational, interregional and outermost region cooperation to drive growth, innovation, and inclusion in all regions of Europe. It is recognised as a key instrument building solidarity, trust and mutual understanding across the EU’s internal and external borders.
The Interreg GO! event will be taking place on the 27 and 28 March 2025 in a highly symbolic location for cross-border cooperation — the twin cities of Gorizia and Nova Gorica, situated on the Italian - Slovenian border. These cities jointly hold the title of European Capital of Culture in 2025.
The conference will be a key milestone in the preparation of the future post-2027 Interreg programmes. It will present the results of public consultations for the EU's next Multiannual Financial Framework. Those consultations involved all Interreg programmes, key stakeholders and, for the first time in history, almost 15 thousand citizens living on the territories covered by Interreg activities.
Discussions during the event will focus on the role of Cohesion Policy Interreg territorial cooperation programmes in addressing shared challenges, such as border security, coordinated responses to migration, environmental threats, prevention of natural disasters, reducing obstacles in public services and people to people projects. Cooperation with EU candidate and neighbouring countries, including the neighbours of the outermost regions, will also be key topics.
The event will be web streamed: Interreg GO! - Streaming Service of the European Commission
