👵👦 What if ageing societies and youth opportunities were tackled together instead of separately?
The new COOPACTION project brings together policymakers, social enterprises and local communities to co-create inclusive solutions for both young and older generations.
💡 From testing new approaches in elderly care and youth work to using AI-powered participation tools, partners across central Europe are building a shared vision for stronger and more connected communities.

Did you try the cake… or are you on team Sachertorte? 🍰🇪🇺
For Europe Day, we’re celebrating the sweet side of cooperation too.
Now the big question:
EU cake or Viennese classic?
Today is Europe Day!
We celebrate #cooperation, shared ideas and the many ways Europe connects us — across cities, regions and borders. #cooperationiscentral
BTW: Can you guess who from our team in Vienna is the cake decoration specialist?

🚌 Connecting rural communities, one journey at a time.
In many rural areas, reaching work, education or healthcare is still a challenge. Our MUTABLE project is helping regions build smarter and more inclusive mobility systems through better coordination, citizen involvement and flexible transport solutions.
#cooperationiscentral to find ways to make rural mobility work better for everyone.

Strong communication starts with strong #cooperation. 🇪🇺
Today, Interreg communication colleagues from across Europe came together at the INFORM meeting organised by the @European Commission to exchange ideas and experiences on citizen engagement and communicating EU-funded projects.
One shared message stood out: engaging citizens takes effort — but it is always worth it when cooperation becomes visible in people’s everyday lives.

🌱 Reviving rural potential
Many rural areas face youth emigration, ageing populations and untapped resources. RUREVIVE is turning these challenges into opportunities — building zero-waste local economies and creating attractive jobs.
🤝 By combining ideas from Slovenia, Croatia and Poland, partners are setting up community hubs that support local initiatives, boost entrepreneurship and make better use of what’s already there.

Most people say climate risks are difficult to predict.
Our Clim4Cast project shows that with the right data — and strong #cooperation — regions can prepare better.
Their web portal gives daily updated 9-day forecasts for droughts, heatwaves and wildfire risks in central Europe.
AND congrats now!!!!
Their smart tool has won the presigous cartografic Czech Award <Mapa roku 2025> in the category Digital Cartographic Product and Online Application. 🏆

In many rural business zones, getting to work still means relying on cars. Our BIZ Mobility project is changing that by helping companies and municipalities create greener, smarter ways to commute.
👉From carpooling to cycling and public transport, new solutions are being tested to cut costs, reduce emissions, and make daily travel easier.

What if the future of cooperation is not more projects, but more impact from the ones we already have? 🇮🇹🇸🇮
Today, at the Interreg Italy-Slovenia Conference, we’re looking at what comes next for #iNTERREG cooperation.
For us, the direction is clear: more synergies, stronger capitalisation, and better use of existing results.
Because the future should mean:
• less complexity
• more uptake
• more visible impact
How do we make sure #cooperation leaves a bigger mark in the future?
