Project description: The project focuses on improving cross-border management through the exchange and transfer of experiences, innovative approaches, and capacity building among politically relevant regional and cross-border organizations. It aims to enhance cross-border cooperation by strengthening the capacities of actors, sharing, analyzing, and developing their key political tools and best practices, including those related to investment for employment and growth programs. TRITIA will develop a “Comparative Study” that will be part of the upcoming “Strategy for Systemic Cooperation of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation TRITIA 2028-2034.” This study will be created through workshops, study visits, and meetings with other project partners, involving the exchange of experiences and information on how political goals are achieved in the participating regions. Specific outputs, proposals, and recommendations will also be directly implemented into the Strategy prepared by the grouping in the same period.
