This targeted analysis aims to develop evidence on lost development opportunities of regions at the north-eastern EU external border in effect of suspension of cross-border cooperation programmes, and to help reorientate the human capital and policy instruments towards new geographical directions of international cooperation.

The targeted analyses will help the participating regions strengthen their resilience towards future challenges in relation to cohesion and security. 

The Regional Council of South Karelia (FI) is the Lead Stakeholder together with the:

Union of Municipalities in Ida-Viru county (EE), 

Latgale planning region (LV)

Euroregion “Country of Lakes” (LT).

A call for tenders for this project is expected to be launched in early 2024.
