INTERACT commitment to capitalisation

Definition

We prefer:

Capitalisation is the possibility to reuse the result of a previous activity (or methodology/programme/project) in order to amplify and increase its impact and/or value

(Olivier Baudelet, European Commission)

INTERACT commitment to capitalisation

Why is capitalisation such an important issue?

• More value for Europen Territorial Cooperation results

• More value for public money and better project quality

• To ensure the evolution of programmes, results, policies;

thus of the overall Cohesion Policy

• To optimise sinergies and to avoid overlapping

not obligatory, but highly recommended! now more and more programmes name it

INTERACT commitment to capitalisation

INTERACT initiatives to increase knowledge and information about capitalisation

• Supporting the link between ETC and the Objective 1 and 2programmes (Seminar on article 37.6.b Reg 1083/06)

• Mediterranean Lab Group and focus on Maritime Risk

• INTERACT Point Viborg activities on capitalisation in the fields of innovation and environment

• Regional strategies (e.g. Baltic Sea Strategy and Danube Strategy)

• KEEP

Capitalisation starts with communication

Capitalisation starts with communication

• Identification of good practice/results

• Summarising these results with the help of communication tools (publications, website, videos...) • Disseminating the results among relevant stakeholders

Increased visibility Next step: re-use of the results!
