On 11 July 2019, the official launch of the Interreg Europe EURE project took place in the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). As lead partner of the project, Atlantic Axis of Peninsular Northwest (Eixo Atlantico) welcomed the participants. The EURE partners arrived from 8 different countries - Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Belgium (with ACR+ as advisory partner of the project).

The meeting was the opportunity for the 9 partners to lay the basis of the different activities that will be implemented to facilitate the exchange of experiences and the interregional learning at work in all Interreg Europe projects. Partners explored the main activities, the events’ calendar and the budget of the project. Finally, the meeting ended up with the approval of the Partnership agreement.
