Programme

South Baltic Cross-border Co-operation Programme 2007 - 2013
Going local. Meeting your needs. Connecting people and ideas.

WHAT is the South Baltic Programme about?
The South Baltic Programme is a multilateral cross-border cooperation programme created on the maritime borders between the southern Baltic Sea regions. It is a new cooperation area where cross-border cooperation structures have not been set at a full scale yet. The overall objective of the Programme is to strengthen the sustainable development of the South Baltic area through joint actions increasing its competitiveness and enhancing integration among people and institutions.
Priorities of the South Baltic Programme are:
I Economic competitiveness
1.1. Entrepreneurial development
1.2. Integration of higher education and labour markets
1.3. Transport accessibility
II Attractiveness and common identity
2.1. Management of the Baltic Sea environment
2.2. Energy saving and renewable energy
2.3. Sustainable use of natural and cultural heritage for regional development
2.4. Local community initiatives

WHY the South Baltic Programme?
Because the Programme:
• Promotes both bilateral and multilateral co-operation;
• Focuses on co-operation over sea rather than over land borders;
• Supports unusual fields of co-operation – people to people contacts, youth or social issues, cultural exchange, and others;
• Cultivates the “cross-border co-operation heritage” in the South Baltic area;
• Fosters co-operation between regions;
• Acts close to beneficiaries – established network of Contact Points in Programme regions;
• Welcomes small, but well developed projects;
• Values soft outcomes, exchange and networking.
