The Youth4Cooperation Group was established in 2022 during the European Year of Youth, having as its main goal to enhance the engagement of young individuals in all Interreg programmes and EU macro-regional strategies, allowing them to have a say and be active in cooperation and Interreg. Additionally, the group serves as a platform for dialogue between the European Commission and young individuals active in the field of Interreg, interested in cohesion and cooperation.
We happily announce that, on 15 December 2023, the European Commission approved the revised Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme, so to reflect the additional allocation of 19.96 mil. Euro in Interreg Funds, Armenia’s decision to rejoin the Programme, which we warmly salute, and the introduction of a new Programme priority: Competent and Resilient Region.
As Programmes become more and more result-oriented and focused to maximize the use of funding, capitalisation appeared as a solution to identify good practices and to promote the re-use and transfer of project results. Moreover, capitalisation enhances transferability of innovation and clustering of results, as well as the possibility to save money and time, by offering access to valuable knowledge, already tested and producing empirical outcomes.
According to regulations, Programmes' evaluation is mandatory, the aim being to improve the quality of their design and implementation.
