Project Communication
Communicating the great work of the project is essential to increase awareness among citizens about the results achieved with European cooperation funding, attract more potential project partners and increase transparency.
Projects that make a difference
The Interreg NPA programme believes that cooperation contributes to a more sustainable and inclusive Northern Periphery and Arctic. Projects play a key role as they form the link between the programme and the citizens in the NPA area. They engage with stakeholders, policy makers and citizens to develop valuable solutions that work for them. Sharing your project's goals, activities, progress, and successes shows what a difference European cooperation can make in the Northern Periphery and Arctic. We support you with guidance, templates, networking, events and much more.
Publicity requirements
The programme aims to raise awareness about cooperation benefits and results, with projects playing a key role. To ensure consistent communication and promotion of Interreg NPA and EU funding, specific requirements are outlined in the EU Regulation and NPA programme manual, which Interreg NPA projects must meet.
All projects - Main, Preparatory, Clustering or other Small-scale types of projects - are responsible for informing the public about assistance received from Interreg and European funding by:
1 - Displaying the combined programme-project logo in a visible manner on all project related materials, as in this example;
2 - Providing a short description of the project on each partner’s official website or social media sites, including the programme/project logo;
3 - Displaying one poster of a minimum size A3 or equivalent electronic display, with information about the project and programme on the premises of each partner.
All Main projects are expected to further develop a set of communication products including a project mini-website, materials presenting the vision and achievements of the project, and initiatives engaging with the broad public.
In addition, projects are expected to budget for mandatory attendance at events organised by the Programme.
All products of Interreg NPA funded projects must be openly accessible, the results must be free of charge and available to anyone.
All project publicity and visibility materials must be available to the Interreg NPA Programme as well as any EU institution. This includes a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable licence to use project outputs and communication materials.
All project must respect all copyrights or license agreements.
How to meet the publicity requirements
Project communication managers network
The programme aims to create an interactive exchange that will make the communication more relevant and that increases the ownership of the programme and its results, optimising the use of limited resources. For this reason, all project communication managers are invited to join the Network of project communication managers. Contact the Communication Manager to join the group.
