This year Interreg Europe nominated HoCare, SHARE and CISMOB projects for the RegioStars Awards 2019.

The objective of the RegioStars Awards is to identify good practices in regional development and highlight original and innovative projects which could be attractive and inspiring to other regions. CISMOB is a candidate for the ‘promoting digital transformation’ category. HoCare is competing in ‘modernising health services’ and SHARE is battling for the ‘building climate-resilient cities’ title.

This year's RegioStars award ceremony will take place in October during the 2019 European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels.
