Arctic frontiers and Interreg Arctic cooperation
The topic of this year's Arctic Frontiers is "Beyond borders", an ideal match for our Interreg collaboration, supporting great ideas across regions and communities in the Arctic and Near-Arctic.
The Clustering call is an opportunity for projects funded by Interreg NPA and Interreg Aurora to join efforts and reach beyond. With this new funding opportunity our programmes are enabling stakeholders to share best practices, pool resources, and connect for more effective collaboration in Arctic and Near-Arctic regions and communities.
