Partners from Russia are involved in 43 out of 88 ongoing projects of Interreg Baltic Sea Region, covering all three Programme priorities: capacity for innovation, sustainable transport and management of natural resources.
- Priority 1, “CAPACITY FOR INNOVATION”, offers support for e.g. development of innovation infrastructures, implementation of smart specialisation strategies and development of non-technological innovations.
- Priority 2, “EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES”, highlights the need to manage natural resources more efficiently. Resource efficient blue growth, renewable energy sources, energy efficiency and clear waters are areas that receive support.
- Priority 3 concentrates on “SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT”. Here projects covering themes such as interoperability, accessibility of remote areas, maritime safety, environmentally friendly shipping and urban mobility are supported.
Over 480 partner organizations from all Baltic Sea countries are included in international projects with Russian participation with a total budget of EUR 97 million.
Cooperation is all about trust
Without trust, it is impossible to build a successful partnership. Russian partners have established strong cooperation ties with partners from Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Norway, contributing to achievement of a common goal: more innovative, better accessible and sustainable Baltic Sea region.
The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia jointly with the Russian National Sub-Committee are actively working to expand Russian participation in the Programme and support Russian organizations in achieving high results of joint project activities, taking into account strategic sustainable development goals for constituent entities of Russia and the North-West Federal District as a whole.
The discussion will be focused on the first results achieved, as well as on the opportunities and cooperation areas between Russian regions and BSR EU partners in the next programme period.
Organizers: Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Russian National Sub-Committee of the INTERREG Baltic Sea Region Programme, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, INTERREG Baltic Sea Region Programme Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat, St. Petersburg Committee for External Relations, ICSER Leontief Centre
