The North East Local Enterprise Partnership is hosting an information event to inform partners and interested parties about the funding available via Interreg North West Europe programme and to discuss potential projects.

The next Interreg North West Europe call will open for applications on 16 October with an initial deadline of 17 November 2017.

The programme supports transnational innovative projects under three priorities: innovation, low carbon, and resource and material efficiency.

The workshop will detail the basics of the North-West Europe Programme, as well as some top tips for application development and links to other Interreg funding. There will also be an opportunity to have 1:1 appointments with a Contact Point, to discuss your project idea.
