Interreg Atlantic Area Programme

The Atlantic Area programme aims to develop a more prosperous, sustainable and connected Atlantic Area. As a maritime territory, the Atlantic Strategy published in July 2020 (the Atlantic Action Plan 2.0), has been considered in the Programme design.

The Atlantic Area programme consists of four Priority Axes and associated objectives – projects must fall under these categories if they are to be eligible for consideration:

• Priority 1: Blue innovation and competitiveness
• Priority 2: Blue/Green environment
• Priority 3: Blue sustainable and social tourism & culture
• Priority 4: A better governance for cooperation in the Atlantic Area

The Atlantic Area community is made of business support organisations, social enterprises, third sector organisations, public authorities, education and training organisations, environmental protection agencies, local communities, civil society clusters, universities, upper education bodies and research/innovation institutions.
