INTERREG IVC

The INTERREG IVC Programme is part of the European Territorial Cooperation objective of the Structural Fund policies for the period 2007-2013. It aims, by means of interregional cooperation, to improve the effectiveness of regional development policies and contribute to economic modernisation and increased competitiveness of Europe, by:

Enabling local and regional actors across the EU to exchange their experiences and knowledge;
Matching regions less experienced in a certain policy field with more advanced regions;
Ensuring the transfer of good practices into Structural Funds mainstream programmes.

INTERREG IVC follows on from the INTERREG IIIC Programme that ran from 2002-2007. You can download here a presentation showing the main characteristics of the INTERREG IVC Programme, and the differences from INTERREG IIIC.
