On 31st January the project partners for the first B-Solutions projects met in Brussels to discuss challenges and opportunities in their projects, together with experts from CESCI (Central European Service for Cross-border Initiatives), ITEM (Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross-border cooperation) and MOT (Mission Opérationelle Transfrontalière), as well as AEBR (Association of European border regions) and DG REGIO.

The projects selected after the first call of B-Solutions examined ways to reduce obstacles in cross-border regions. The project partners tried to tackle such obstacles in fields of education, health, data, employment and transport. They had a fruitful and interactive discussion on what they already implemented and what their future plans are.

The second call for B-Solutions is open since last week as well. Here is more information on how to apply: https://www.b-solutionsproject.com/call-for-proposals
