What is Interreg Cooperation Day?

Interreg Cooperation Day is the annual campaign through which Interreg programmes and partners bring cooperation closer to citizens. 

Every year on 21 September, and throughout the surrounding weeks, programmes across Europe organise local events of all kinds: from sports and nature activities to cultural festivals and creative workshops.
