Celebrating the Legacy of Interreg 2 Seas: A Model for cross-border Cooperation

The Interreg 2 Seas Programme has established itself as a remarkable model of European cross-border cooperation, driving transformative projects across the coastal regions of Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. With the launch of the “Legacy in Motion” platform, the Programme showcases its remarkable achievements in fostering innovation, sustainability, and economic growth.

Two flagship initiatives highlight the Programme's success. First, five thematic videos delve into strategic areas such as climate adaptation, resource efficiency, and low-carbon technologies, offering a dynamic look at how Interreg 2 Seas projects have empowered communities to build resilience and embrace sustainability. Presented by 2 Seas officers directly involved in the projects, the videos provide tangible examples of the positive impact these initiatives have delivered across the territories. The platform also hosts the Programme’s Virtual Voyage dedicated to Social Innovation, showcasing project results and bridging towards ESF+ opportunities.

Second, the comprehensive Project Directory, available in English, French, and Dutch, documents the wide-reaching impacts of the Programme’s projects. This carefully designed resource emphasizes the real benefits of cross-border cooperation, including ecosystem-based solutions to climate challenges, support for circular economies, and advancements in technology transfer.

By addressing common challenges and capitalising on regional strengths, the Interreg 2 Seas Programme leaves a lasting legacy in terms of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Its commitment to fostering innovation and cross-border cooperation exemplifies the potential impact of European funding. Explore these achievements and more on the "Legacy in Motion" platform.
