Call: Capitalisation through Coordination

The Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme’s overall objective is to cooperate beyond borders in central Europe to make cities and regions better places to live and work. The Programme focuses specifically on innovation, low-carbon economy, environment, culture and transport. The programme will build regional capacities following an integrated bottom-up approach involving and coordinating relevant actors from all governance levels. In order to achieve these objectives, the Programme is divided into the following Priority Axes (PA):

• PA1 - Cooperating on innovation to make Central Europe more competitive
• PA2 - Cooperating on low-carbon strategies in Central Europe
• PA3 - Cooperating on natural and cultural resources for sustainable growth in Central Europe
• PA4 - Cooperating on transport to better connect Central Europe

• Upstreaming - Existing outputs and results are taken up and tailored in a way that they can be integrated into relevant territorial or thematic policies and strategies.
• Downstreaming: Existing outputs and results are tailored in a way that they can be further rolled-out at the national, regional or local level. Such roll-out could happen geographically to utilise adapted outputs and results in other regions; or thematically to utilise these in other sectors than initially addressed. The main aim of downstreaming is to give regions in central Europe easier access to transnational outputs and results.
