Parallel Discussions – Building project synergies

The aim of this session is to introduce projects working on similar topics, to discuss the work already done by first and second call projects, the challenges that third and fourth call projects expect to face, as well as to think of possible joint activities, and consider how the Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform can support further co-operation.

Three topics are suggested, but more can be added on project request.

In each group: Participants introduce each other and their respective projects to each other.

'Young' projects can ask 'old' projects for advice.
