📋 Tender Overview
The European Commission has invited all European territorial cooperation programs to join the Interreg 2024 consultation on the future cohesion policy (after 2027), in particular the future of Interreg programmes.
The public consultation is part of the process that the European Observation Network for Territorial Development and Cohesion (ESPON) also implements with its stakeholders.
