News archive - SEE Programme Selects Its First Projects

A number of 42 high-quality and innovative transnational cooperation projects have been selected by the Monitoring Committee of the South East Europe Programme during its meeting in Vienna on March 10-11, 2009. The funds allocated to the 1st call projects amount to roughly 37 % of the Programme overall ERDF budget allocated to projects.

The call has followed a two steps approach: Within the first step, a number of 821 valid Expressions of Interest have been submitted, out of which 95 have been selected for participating in the second step and invited to submit a full application. During the second step of the call, which was closed on November 21, 2008, a total number of 90 project applications have been received. The successful projects have been chosen out of the 71 applications which have fulfilled all formal and eligibility criteria.

The next call of the SEE Programme will probably be launched in September. The exact date will be communicated in due time - please check http://www.e4business.eu/ regularly for up to date information.

The South East Europe programme is a unique instrument which, in the framework of the Regional Policy's Territorial Cooperation Objective, aims to improve integration and competitiveness in an area which is as complex as it is diverse.

The programme is supporting projects developed within four Priority Axes: Innovation, Environment, Accessibility, and Sustainable Growth Areas - in line with the Lisbon and Gothenburg priorities, and is also contributing to the integration process of the non-EU member states.
