Resilient Border Regions call for proposals – 20 pilot actions
Make a step beyond and increase your cross-border resilience!
A Call for Proposals is now open for local and regional authorities in border regions to receive support and increase their cross-border resilience. Selected proposals will receive financial and technical assistance to prepare a sound spatial planning or cross-border crisis management plan.
Border regions can increase their preparedness to face future crises and develop more efficient infrastructures and services on their territories if they have a feasible cross-border plan to manage crises effectively and a comprehensive cross-border spatial plan. Implementing these plans is a very ambitious goal, and it goes out of the scope of this proposal, which is addressed to support pilot actions to develop these cross-border plans.
The European Commission’s DG REGIO has entrusted the AEBR and the Mission Operationnelle Transfrontalière (MOT) to manage this call jointly, with each responsible for the crisis management and spatial planning lots, respectively. This action is within the framework of the European Parliament’s pilot project Cross/Border Crisis Response Integrated Initiative (CB-CRII).
You can read more about this call, including a few examples that might inspire your application, and the application form on the dedicated website: https://resilientborders.eu/. There you will also find news and insights, where AEBR and MOT teams have already started to publish, a Frequent Asked Questions (FAQs) section and the primary contacts, including the two specific email addresses for every lot: crisis-mamagent@aebr.eu and spatialplanning@mot.asso.fr.
