Deadline: 22-Apr-22
The Interreg Alpine Space is pleased to launch an open call for the 2021-22 Small Scale Projects to exploit the untapped potentials and challenges across the Alpine regions.
Small-scale projects may also result in capitalisation actions to bring and “roll-out” available tools and solutions into boosting their implementation and use in the territories. Such measures aim at widely promoting the up-take of project achievements among target groups for greater impact and added-value both at local and regional level. These actions predominantly focus on mature fields of cooperation where a body of knowledge is already available and tested by stakeholders. Such follow and spin-off activities are also opportunities to explore complementarities with other projects and initiatives.
As the programme aims to encourage new experimentation, small-scale projects will be also a laboratory for new ideas, which draws on experience from a variety of disciplines. Regardless of the approach to cooperation, projects need to demonstrate tangible and realistic outputs.
