What is the rationale of the INTERREG IVC programme?
The INTERREG IVC Programme is an exchange and capitalisation programme which aims to improve, through the exchange of experience and good practices, the effectiveness of regional development policies. Indeed, it focuses on the identification, the analysis, and, under certain conditions, the transfer of good practices. Therefore: – The “natural” target group of the Programme are regional and local public authorities, as these bodies are responsible for regional and local policies; – INTERREG IVC is fundamentally different from cross-border and transnational cooperation programmes. In particular, it is not primarily dedicated to ‘implementation’ or to ‘experimentation’.
