Territorial Cooperation Programmes
Cross-border cooperation programmes
promoting integrated regional development between neighbouring border
regions, including external borders; the objective is developing crossborder economic and social cooperation through joint strategies and
development programmes.
Transnational cooperation programmes
aim to promote integration across groupings of European regions, to
encourage a sustainable and balanced development of the European
territory. These programmes also promote better integration between the
Member States and candidate countries and other neighbouring countries
Interregional cooperation programme INTERREG IVC and 3
networking programmes (INTERACT II, Urbact II, and ESPON) - panEuropean level, covering all EU-27 Member States to develop good
practice and facilitate the exchange and transfer of experience by
successful regions
