Interreg wide consultation

Interact continues to facilitate Interreg and other cooperation actors in discussing the future of Interreg.

Significant work in 2024 saw consultations focusing on seven key topics for Interreg, as part of the Interreg wide consultation 2024. This supported the wider consultations organised by DG REGIO,, and surmised in the Harvesting Report, published in May 2025.

As draft regulations are awaited, the exact path for the consultation are not fully fixed. Interact anticipates that the Interreg Knowledge Fair 2025 is a key moment for these further discussions. 

Where to start

To follow the process to date, please note the Interreg wide consultation 2024, as well as the Harvesting Report, published in May 2025.

Please also save the date for the Interreg Knowledge Fair 2025, in Belgrade, Serbia. 

What we are working on

The outline plan for the Knowledge Fair includes significant discussions on the future. In the meantime, Interact continues to closely monitor developments in Brussels.
