The Role of Contact Points in the Implementation of Interreg Programmes

Helping to inform the set up of the 2021-27 Interreg programmes, a new EPRC report for Interact provides a comprehensive balanced overview of the different approaches to setting up and employing Contact Points in Interreg programmes. The report highlights the different way that Programmes can use contact points in their management and implementation systems and scope to adapt to specific programme conditions and needs. The report notes the value of effective coordination and collaboration with Contact Points from the outset with regional Contact Points, their role in the delivery and dissemination of results, and effective, clear, consistent communication within programme structures and with partners.
