About Organisation
The Interreg VI-A Greece–Italy 2021–2027 Programme is a European Territorial Cooperation initiative funded by the European Union to strengthen collaboration between Greece and Italy. The programme promotes sustainable regional development by supporting joint actions that improve governance, innovation, environmental protection, and institutional cooperation across the border region. It encourages public authorities, non-profit organisations, and other stakeholders to work together on common territorial challenges through shared planning and knowledge exchange. By financing collaborative projects, the programme contributes to stronger partnerships, better public services, and long-term economic, social, and environmental development within the eligible Greece–Italy cooperation area.
