Make Regional Policy happen!
AER Major 'Seminar & Partnership Fair' on Interreg IV C Opportunities

Building up on the former 'Centurio Interreg IIIC' project, which -with 50 partners- quickly became the biggest project of the 'Interreg IIIC West Zone', the AER invites all member regions to take part to the:

'AER SEMINAR AND PARTNERSHIP FAIR:
Getting Ready for the INTERREG IVC call for projects!'
The event will take place on Thursday 14th June in Strasbourg (Alsace-F)

During this one-day event, you will receive detailed insight on the Interreg IVC programme: what are its priorities (in particular what kind of projects are most likely to receive co-financing) and how does it work (preview of the application form, expected timetable and procedure for submitting applications).

The Partnership Fair that will follow the Seminar will offer you a unique opportunity to present your ideas for cooperation projects and to meet and discuss with potential partners.  
All the key AER work areas will be covered at the fair: Among them: Energy (wood fuel, energy efficiency), Environmental Protection, Sustainable Tourism (pan-European eco-tourism route), Risk Prevention, Cultural Heritage.

All the project proposals are available on our website, where you will also find further practical information:
