• Because they are part of the same policy architecture
• They have the same policy drivers (Lisbon, Gothenburg, Cohesion)
• Overlap in target audiences
Why ESPON and INTERREG?

Cross-border, transnational, inter-regional
Cross Border (Strand A) programmes support co-operation and harmonisation between regions sharing a common border
Transnational (Strand B) programmes address issues and challenges that go beyond national or regional borders, and for which a satisfactory solution at a local, regional or national level can only be found through co-operation.
Inter-regional (Strand C) programme supports exchange of experience and good practice to improve policy.

Interreg IV C (Inter-regional strand)
• Regional Development policy rather than spatial planning
• For developing policy, not infrastructure
• Finances networks and exchange of experience & good practice
• 2 themes:•Lisbon (research, technology, innnovation, entrepreneurship)
•Gothenburg (environment, risk prevention, biodiversity, energy efficiency)
![Page 14: The INTERREG programme in the UK Interreg IVB NWE UK Contact Point](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551be482550346b9588b5fa6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What do Interreg projects do?
• Support cooperative action between partnerships across more than 1 member state
• Bring together public, academic, NGO and private organisations
• Test new approaches in reality, sometimes funding pilot or demonstration projects
• Positioned therefore between research and mainstream structural funds
• Involve their partners together in design, implementation and dissemination

ESPON and INTERREGShared objectives
Programme level support – separate discussion. At project level:
• ESPON partnerships may wish to extend their research into practice, by developing an INTERREG project
• INTERREG projects produce empirical results which are complementary to the research results of ESPON
• INTERREG projects can use ESPON material as evidence base, and signpost to relevant research
• ESPON can help INTERREG projects find ‘good’ partners
• Support strategic initiatives and thematic gaps
• Make the spatial dimensions of Lisbon and Gothenburg more accessible?
• Contribute to INTRREG project planning e.g. impact measurement, evaluation methodologies?
