Funding
The Interreg Alpine Space programme finances cooperation projects across the borders of seven Alpine countries. It tackles common challenges and improves the quality of life of the 80 million inhabitants of the Alpine region. The programme addresses public authorities on national, regional and local level, institutions of higher education, as well as enterprises, business support organisations, NGOs and associations.
The Interreg Alpine Space programme is an Interreg programme. Interreg is a key instrument of the European Union (EU) Cohesion Policy. It is financed through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as well as national contributions from its seven Partner States. For 2021-2027, the programme has a budget of € 107 million ERDF.
The first transnational EU cooperation programme for the Alps was launched in 2000, under the name Interreg IIIB Alpine Space Programme. Its current edition, the Interreg Alpine Space programme 2021-2027, was launched in 2021. With a rising number of project partners in each period, the Interreg Alpine Space programme is now a key player ensuring cooperation between Alpine states and regions.
Every seven years, the Interreg Alpine Space programme redefines its objectives, based on the needs of the Alpine region as well as on the policy goals of the European Union. The projects financed by the programme must contribute to the achievements of these objectives.
Among the current projects, 4Support EUSALP enables the long-term follow-up on EUSALP’s objectives and priorities, as well as the implementation of the 9 Action Groups’ work plans.
