Interreg Slovakia-Austria

Interreg is one of the key instruments of the European Union (EU) supporting cooperation across borders through project funding. Its aim is to jointly tackle common challenges and find shared solutions in fields such as health, environment, research, education, transport, sustainable energy and more. Interreg programmes are being financed by the European Regional Development Fund to promote the harmonious development of the territory of the European Union at different levels. The Slovak-Austrian (SK-AT) cross-border area offers significant potentialities to further the socio-economic and institutional integration for a well-performing European region. To contribute to the further integration and sustainable development of the area the SK-AT cross-border co-operation programme aims to improve frameworks and policies and deliver specific solutions to tackle common challenges. The programme area consists on the Slovak side of the Bratislava and Trnava self-governing regions, on the Austrian side the northern and central Burgenland, Vienna and Lower Austria. The list of eligible applicants is specified with a specific call. Mentioned regions, together with Ministry of investments, regional development and informatization of Slovak Republic (MIRRI SR) as Managing Authority, are the main programme partners and they cooperate to implement the programme objectives.
