Interreg Central Europe call for projects to coordinate ESIF and Horizon 2020 partners and transfer results to regions.

- Industry 4.0,
- Energy Efficient Renovation of Public Buildings,
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Low-Carbon Mobility and Urban Air Quality,
- Climate Change Adaptation and Risk Prevention,
- Cultural Heritage Sites and Buildings at Risk,
- Accessibility of Peripheral and Border Region to TEN-T CNC network / nodes.
The total call budget is 10 million EUR.
