29 September 2006 Supplementary ERDF for Capitalisation activities of INTERREG IIIC West Operations The INTERREG IIIC West Monitoring Committee has recently approved a new procedure for awarding funds for capitalisation activities to running West operations. With the future Interregional cooperation programme under preparation, the need for capitalisation upon the current running operations in all four INTERREG IIIC zones is essential so as to ensure that the results of these operations is maximised and that future operations under the new programme can take advantage of what has already been achieved. By sharing and grouping the findings of operations approved in all four zones that are working in similar fields, capitalisation activities will allow current INTERREG IIIC operations and regional policy makers to derive maximum benefit and impact from their results and lessons learned. All INTERREG IIIC West operations are therefore being given the opportunity to propose additional activities that will contribute to the above objective (e.g. joint conferences, seminars, study visits, publications etc). It should be noted that only the costs of INTERREG IIIC West operation partners are eligible for the supplementary funds. This will be an on-going procedure with applications welcome at any time. Interested operations should contact their Project Officer, Nicolas Singer or Alexandra Bolland for further information: Nicolas.Singer@interreg3c.net / Alexandra.Bolland@interreg3c.net
