Interreg Baltic Sea Region closed its third call for applications after having received 114 full-fledged project applications. The applications bring in a variety of new ideas on how transnational cooperation can make the Baltic Sea Region more innovative, better accessible and sustainable. They cover the Programme’s main thematic priorities and include an overarching goal for the projects to contribute to, which is increasing institutional capacity of public authorities at all levels of governance.

“Communication matters, so you matter” – with these words Susanne Scherrer, Director of Interreg Baltic Sea Region Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat (MA/JS) addressed 60 communication managers at the recent communication seminar. She highlighted their important role in showing the true European value of transnational cooperation in Interreg projects. How to communicate Interreg and reach out to the right target groups, how to communicate Interreg within the projects and throughout successful events were the overarching themes for the seminar.

The Interreg project BalticRIM integrates maritime cultural heritage of the Baltic Sea into maritime spatial plans to safeguard it for the future. Matthias Maluck from the State Archaeological Department of Schleswig-Holstein explains what maritime cultural heritage is and why and how it should be preserved. BalticRIM frames cultural heritage of individual countries in a transnational perspective and thus delivers territorial cohesion.
