The AD&C – Agency for Development and Cohesion, the public institute responsible for coordinating Regional Development Policy and European Funds in Portugal, has launched a new category dedicated to European Territorial Cooperation within the 2nd edition of the European Funds Awards.
This category is specifically designed to recognise projects supported by Interreg programmes — such as the Interreg Atlantic Area — that promote partnerships, knowledge sharing and joint solutions between regions, generating a tangible impact on local territories.
Aimed at Portuguese partners involved in closed cooperation projects, the European Funds Awards represent a unique opportunity to showcase the results achieved and highlight their contribution to European cooperation and the creation of added value through networking.
Applications will be assessed according to the following criteria: cohesion, impact, innovation, sustainability, community involvement and transferability.
Timeline
