- Integrated territorial development
- Culture and sustainable tourism
- Cross-cutting challenges
The project intervention logic represents the basic structure of the project. It defines the project's main and specific objectives, deliverables and expected results.
The needs should be clearly identified and project objectives and results should explain what changes the project intends to bring.
The project intervention logic has to be coherent and provide the necessary information on how the project contributes to the selected Programme Priorities and Specific Objectives.
The Programme published the indicative timetable of Calls for proposals for 2021-27.
The applicants are recommended to plan well ahead for the development of their application. It includes the composition of the partnership and the drafting of the application.
To avoid starting the work from scratch, do the research and find out existing results relevant to your project. Consider upgrading and improving them.
The capitalisation of relevant previous projects and the synergies with ongoing projects are taken into consideration when assessing the strategic relevance of project proposals.
For previous Italy-Croatia project results, please consult Programme webpage 2014-2020.
Capitalisation in the Italy-Croatia Programme should be understood as a process aimed at consolidating the "capital" built by Interreg projects and also by projects funded by other programmes and initiatives.
It aims to transfer and re-use knowledge and results generated by previously implemented projects to create new knowledge and practices to support the development of policies and solutions for the benefit of the Programme area.
For more information check the Capitalisation Plan.
