Call 5
Thematic Strategic Territorial projects
This call targets exclusively Thematic Strategic Territorial projects.
These projects should respond to the needs and joint challenges of a specific type of territory addressing identified strategic topics.
Thus, they primarily produce a territorial impact, based on involving all relevant stakeholders to trigger tailor-made solutions or strategies in line with the territory and the topic chosen. Those should be adapted for the targeted type of territory and be able to influence national, regional or local policies by studying (developing), testing and transferring jointly developed solutions or strategies.
For this purpose, thematic strategic Territorial projects shall combine: conducting studies, testing solutions and transferring results.
