The European Commission has officially approved the Interreg Meuse-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) programme for the period 2021-2027. This means that the Interreg Meuse-Rhine programme can continue to support cooperation with an approximate budget of 176 million euros.

On September 28, 2022, the Interreg Meuse-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) programme hosted its launch event for the upcoming programme period in Hasselt (Belgium) which has brought together people from all over the area. The event offered the public a first look at the plans for our upcoming programme period.

Many inhabitants of our border region are crossing the national borders every day to go to school, university or work. These encounters are being facilitated by projects the Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhine programme is funding, among others through the People to People project. This project is funding small-scale initiatives, so-called People to People activities. New People to People funds are now available! 

The Interreg Meuse-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) programme is setting its sails on 28 September 2022 for the next seven years. In this upcoming programme period, we will offer more than 176 million euros to cross-border projects on smarter innovations, greener, low-carbon initiatives, social inclusion concepts, and better cooperation in the Meuse-Rhine area.
