The Interreg Central Europe funding programme supports organisations to cooperate on common challenges of central European regions and cities. It encourages and supports transnational cooperation to make regions more resilient to common challenges that know no borders and which cannot be solved alone. They are organized in priorities and specific objectives.
Possible usage of the funding instrument in the P2G context: Especially relevant for the P2G context is Priority 2: Cooperating for a greener central Europe, specific objective 2.1 Supporting the energy transition to a climate-neutral central Europe. In it the P2G context fits very well in the emphasized themes such as smart integration of carbon-neutral solutions across sectors and renewable energy sources. Also specific objective 2.3 Taking circular economy forward in central Europe offers significant opportunities for the P2G context, like e.g. theme circular economy value chains.
