The Interact Programme issued on February 28, 2017 a report on the Added value of the macro-regional strategies for projects and programmes, which you can find here.

The European Union Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) is one of the four European Union macro-regional strategies currently in place, along with the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR), the European Union Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) and the European Union Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP).

As projects and programmes, such as the Danube Transnational Programme, are tools for implementing macro-regional strategies, the report looks at what’s in it for them and what the macro-regional strategies offer to projects and programmes to stimulate win-win situations and push up the role of macroregional strategies. In other words, the report is not only about the added value projects and programmes bring to macro-regional strategies, but also assessing why they should be interested in contributing to the implementation of macroregional strategies.
