Transnational Activity within the Convergence and Regional Competitiveness & Employment Programmes

Transnational Activity within the Convergence and Regional Competitiveness & Employment Programmes




A new component of the main stream Structural Funds Programmes (2007-13) enables projects to include within them transnational and interregional actions. This provides an important opportunity to develop links and partnerships, and add value to Welsh projects, by collaborating in areas of mutual interest with other Member States.

However these should be viewed as indicative only and further information on each Member State’s Programmes, along with contact details of each managing authority can be found on the Commission’s web-site.

Further ERDF and ESF (external links) information is available on the commissions' website.
