policy, objectives and strategy
Cross-border cooperation
4 cross-border regions covering the whole
border with Belgium and the Netherlands
Subsidiarity and Partnership as success
factors
– Euregios result from local initiative and are part of local self-organisation
– Bottom-up approach to cross-border co-operation: INTERREG is implemented by
Euregios
– Regional and national governments see themselves as partners, not
„supervisors“
Multitude of permanent cross-border
networks and associations
– E.g. Technologienetzwerk Rhein-Waal
– E.g. „Heartbeat of Europe – Life Sciences in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine“
