Project life-cycle
A clearly defined project life-cycle must be implemented to ensure that Interreg programmes fund projects that are both effective and aligned with their strategic goals.
This project life-cycle includes several key steps: project generation, selection, contracting, implementation, and closure, each playing a crucial role in the overall success and sustainability of every project.
Before these steps, which are also part of the programme life-cycle, comes the generation of project ideas, where potential beneficiaries work on aligning their project concepts with the programme's intervention logic.
Where to start
A certified training is being developed within the Interact Academy, focusing on Interreg project management from the beneficiaries' perspective. After completing the training, participants should be able to better assist and advise project applicants and beneficiaries through all stages of the project life-cycle.
The short course "Interreg project characteristics" is being developed within the Interact Academy. After completing the short course participants should be able to learn how to help project developers understand the basic characteristics of all Interreg projects.
What are we working on
In addition to the above certified training, discussions on project management will take place in other Interact events.
These events will be added here in due course.
