The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) supports proposals for seed money and co-financing of INTERREG B-funded projects with national resources. The projects are supposed to focus on thematic priorities that are of special interest to the Federal Government and contribute to sustainable spatial development in Germany.

During the fifth funding period of INTERREG between 2014 and 2020 the following priorities are available for funding:

  • strengthening Europe-competence of local and regional actors,
  • introducing new actors to transnational collaboration,
  • development of long-term cooperative relations and public-private partnerships,
  • qualification and certification for strengthening the competitiveness of cities and regions as well as
  • implementation of the "Territorial Agenda 2020" of the EU and contribution to the fulfillment of the goals of the "Europe-2020-Strategy" of the EU locally.
