As some of you may know, 2007 saw the beginning of a new stage of the European Territorial Cooperation Programme, INTERREG VI (2007 – 2013). According to the Lisbon and Gothenburg agendas, all EU-financed projects must contribute to increased competitiveness of the EU and have positive impact on the dynamics of European development. Therefore, when evaluating project proposals, INTERREG Technical Secretariats and Managing Authorities will now focus on their strategic orientation. What is a strategic project? What standards should it meet? What defines its strategic orientation and importance? All these questions were discussed at a 2-day training seminar that took place on March 13-14 in Tallinn (Estonia).
Ms. Patricia Ruppert, Managing Director of the German-Belarusian House, and Mr. Ivan Shchadranok, Director of the Institution INTERACTION (Institution of the German-Belarusian House in Belarus), were invited to participate in the seminar which involved representatives of INTERREG Technical Secretariats and Managing Authorities from Sweden, Finland, Spain, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy and other countries. “The German-Belarusian House was the only organisation that directly deals with project development and implementation,” Ms. Patricia Ruppert said upon completion of the seminar. “Even though this training seminar was targeted at employees of Technical Secretariats and regional authorities, our projects – in particular, our initiative Re-Enact – is likely to benefit from this knowledge as well. The German-Belarusian House has been actively working in the sphere of European project management for more than 14 years, and it has extensive experience in development and implementation of projects. Everything that we have learned at this seminar will be passed on to local authorities and NGOs of Belarus through our web-portal www.EU-Belarus.net, so that more European projects can be developed and implemented in Belarus. We also managed to give participants of the seminar some practical advice. The devil’s always in the details!
