The chosen priorities and related EU financial allocation are:
– A.1 Business and SMEs development:

– A.2 Support to education, research, technological development and innovation:

– A.3 Promotion of social inclusion and the fight against poverty
- A.3.1 – Provide young people, especially those belonging to the NEETS, and women, with marketable skills;
– B.4 Environmental protection, climate change adaptation and mitigation:
- B.4.1 – Support innovative and technological solutions to increase water efficiency and encourage use of non-conventional water supply;
- B.4.2 – Reduce municipal waste generation and promote source separated collection and the optimal exploitation of its organic component;
- B.4.3 – Support cost-effective and innovative energy rehabilitations relevant to building types and climatic zones, with a focus on public buildings.
These priorities were selected following national consultations in all participating countries and based on an updated socio-economic and environmental analysis, aiming at identifying the most relevant challenges in the Programme cooperation area.
Strategic projects are meant to foster policy-relevant innovations, as well as long-lasting and far-reaching effects that last beyond the funding of the Programme.
