Introduction_4th Call

The INTERREG VI-A Italy–Croatia 2021-2027 Programme launches its 4th Call for Proposals, aiming to support the transfer, adaptation and scaling-up of existing solutions across different Interreg Programme areas, with a specific focus on sustainable tourism.

This 4th Call for Proposals is launched in coordination with the Interreg Mediterranean Multi-Programme Mechanism (MMM) whose participating Programmes have agreed on a common framework to capitalise and improve the transferability and scalability of already achieved solutions beyond their own areas of cooperation. 

MMM Programmes have identified a cross-cutting thematic focus, Sustainable Tourism, and jointly developed a Terms of Reference and a list of MMM Outputs generated by projects funded under all MMM Programmes.

Therefore, the Interreg Italy-Croatia 4th Call for Proposals is conceived as a targeted call under Specific Objective 4.1 – Enhancing the role of culture and sustainable tourism in economic development, social inclusion and social innovation.

The proposals submitted under this Call are Capitalisation Projects. In this context, proposals must build on at least one output developed under a MMM Programme different from Italy - Croatia which has to be re-used, adapted or scaled-up in the Interreg Italy - Croatia Programme area.

The Call schedule is the following: from 15/06/2026 to 15/09/2026 at 2 PM CET.

The Call budget amounts to EUR 5.859.000 ERDF.
