Dear Finpiemonte Team,

Thank you very much for sharing your partner search and your vision for the upcoming Interreg Euro-MED Test Projects call.

We would be delighted to join your consortium and explore how we could contribute to the proposal.

We are Mozaik dobrot, a non-profit Employment Centre from Slovenia, located in a rural area with a strong commitment to sustainable development, social innovation and the circular economy. Our organisation combines practical implementation with extensive experience in designing and managing both European and national projects.

What makes our organisation unique is that we do not only develop innovative ideas—we are able to test them in real-life conditions. We operate several practical environments where pilot activities can be implemented, validated and demonstrated together with local communities and stakeholders.

Our organisation works at the intersection of:

circular economy and sustainable food systems;
bioeconomy and local value chains;
social innovation and inclusive employment;
vocational education and skills development;
rural development and community engagement.

As an accredited Employment Centre, one of our core missions is the inclusion of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups into innovative, green and circular economic activities. We strongly believe that environmental sustainability and social inclusion should go hand in hand, and we continuously develop practical models that demonstrate exactly this approach.

We can contribute to your consortium through:

testing and validating pilot actions in rural environments;
engaging local authorities, SMEs, educational institutions and civil society organisations;
co-creation with citizens and vulnerable target groups, particularly persons with disabilities;
dissemination, communication and stakeholder engagement at local, national and European levels;
transferability and replication of project results through our extensive European cooperation network.

We are particularly inspired by your focus on governance, green finance and long-term sustainability. We believe that combining your expertise with our practical experience in implementing innovative pilots would create a strong partnership capable of delivering tangible environmental, social and economic impact across the Mediterranean region.

We would be grateful if you could share more information about the project concept, expected partnership and planned activities. We would be pleased to arrange an online meeting and discuss how our organisation could contribute most effectively to the consortium.

For all further communication regarding this proposal, please feel free to contact us at mozaikdorbot0@gmail.com. We would be happy to provide any additional information and look forward to discussing this exciting collaboration with you.

Thank you once again for this opportunity. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together within the Interreg Euro-MED Programme.

Kind regards,

Petra Živko

Dear,

I would like to briefly introduce CEEO (Center for Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environment), a Bosnia and Herzegovina-based NGO and expert organization working in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development.

We are currently implementing an Interreg Danube project and have previous experience with Interreg MED projects, including projects implemented in 2022.

Our team has extensive experience in developing and coordinating project applications, as well as in the implementation and management of EU-funded projects.

If you are planning to apply under the upcoming call and are building a consortium, we would be very interested in joining and contributing to the proposal. We would be happy to discuss how CEEO’s expertise and experience could complement the consortium.

Please let me know if this could be of interest, and we would be happy to arrange a short call. emina.mravovic@ceeo.ba

Best regards,
Emina

Dear Ms Longo and Finpiemonte team,

I am contacting you on behalf of Vita projekt, a Croatian environmental and spatial planning consultancy. Your search for mature methodologies and territorial pilots for the forthcoming Interreg Euro-MED Test Projects Call is particularly relevant to our work under the Green Living Areas mission.

Our interdisciplinary team combines landscape architecture, green infrastructure and ecosystem services, GIS and spatial analysis, participatory planning, biodiversity, and nature-based stormwater management. We work closely with Croatian cities and municipalities and can potentially bring a concrete small-city pilot site in Croatia.

We are currently developing a pilot concept focused on the climate-health adaptation of everyday public spaces, with particular attention to children and older people. The pilot would combine spatial and thermal analysis, participatory co-design, green infrastructure/NbS and physical transformation of an existing public space. One of the questions we are particularly interested in is how apparently green, low-density towns can still lack publicly accessible shade and climate-comfortable public spaces.

We believe this could complement Finpiemonte’s strengths in governance, policy support and long-term financing particularly well.

We would be very interested to learn more about the project concept you are developing for Call 8 and whether this type of Croatian pilot and technical partner could fit the emerging consortium.

I would be glad to arrange a short online meeting and provide further information about our team and the pilot concept.

Best regards,
Dr Neven Tandarić

Dear,

I would like to briefly introduce CEEO (Center for Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environment), a Bosnia and Herzegovina-based NGO and expert organization working on energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development.

We are currently implementing an Interreg Danube project and have previous experience with Interreg MED projects, including the implementation of an Interreg MED project in 2022. We are also currently implementing a circular economy project supported by the UNDP–Czech Challenge Fund, giving us relevant practical experience in this field.

In addition, CEEO has experience in urban planning and nature-based solutions through our previous URWAN project, which we see as particularly relevant to the “Greening living areas” topic.

Our team has extensive experience in developing EU project applications and in the implementation and management of EU-funded projects.

If you are planning to apply under the upcoming Interreg MED call and are building a consortium, we would be very interested in joining. We believe CEEO could bring relevant expertise and practical experience to the partnership, and we would be happy to discuss potential areas of cooperation.

Please let me know if you are considering an application, and we would be happy to have a short call. You can write me on: emina.mravovic@ceeo.ba
