Three Lübeck-related Nobel Prize winners, five keynote speeches, two moderated discussions, one presentation on stage, 16 parallel sessions, 111 projects, 300 participants and eight hours of a joint event – this is a simple summary of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme Conference, underpinning the achievements of projects co-funded by the Programme.

How to show the transnational cooperation, grasp the essence of a project or show the project result in just one picture? Interreg Baltic Sea Region projects have risen to the challenge and eagerly joined a photo competition. Best pictures by BalticLINes, IWAMA, HAZARD as well as the winner of the public vote, GoSmart BSR, gained visibility at the recent Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme Conference. But there is more to come! Congratulations!

At its meeting on 10-11 April in Lübeck, the Monitoring Committee of Interreg Baltic Sea Region selected twelve projects for funding. This includes three platform projects and nine extension stage projects. Both types of projects are meant to capitalise on the results of projects already funded within Interreg Baltic Sea Region.

More than 300 participants from all around the Baltic Sea and beyond attended the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme Conference held in Lübeck on 9-10 April 2019 to talk about project achievements in making the Baltic Sea region more innovative, better accessible and sustainable. With a high number of participants and very active involvement into the discussions, the event was a unique opportunity to bring the Interreg family together.
