Combining Interreg resources and skills to get the best results for Arctic communities.
The Interreg Arctic Cooperation is a partnership between the Interreg Aurora and Interreg NPA programmes designed to enhance visibility, improve coordination, and create synergies. The goal of this cooperation is to share best practices, pool resources, and connect stakeholders for more effective collaboration in Arctic regions and communities.
You can participate in a clustering call
In the autumn of 2025 Interreg NPA and Interreg Aurora are going to launch a joint call for Clustering projects. Clustering projects are expected to give a higher profile to topics relevant to people living in the Arctic and contribute to the practical implementation of the EU Arctic Policy in communities. Applications can be submitted between 2 September -8 October, 2025.
The two Interreg Arctic Programmes will coordinate the call for applications, this means that there will be frequent joint events and a close collaboration between the programmes during project development and assessment. However, please note that Specific Terms of reference apply for each programme
