Interregional programmes

The broadest form of cooperation is interregional cooperation, known as Interreg C. This type of cooperation works at pan-European level, covering all EU member states and partner countries.

Slovenia participates in four interregional programmes in the 2021-2027 period:

• INTERACT IV: https://www.interact-eu.net/
• INTERREG EUROPE: https://www.interregeurope.eu/
• URBACT: https://urbact.eu/urbact-slovenija
• ESPON: https://www.espon.eu/

The objectives of interregional programmes are as follows:

• boosting the effectiveness of Cohesion Policy implementation by promoting exchange of experiences between regions, programmes and countries;
• improving the implementation of European territorial cooperation programmes and projects;
• promoting development trends in territorial cohesion through studies, analyses, data collection and other measures.
