TESIM (Technical Support to the Implementation and Management of ENI CBC programmes) has been invited to co-moderate one of the sessions of the 2nd Macro-Regions week addressing future NDICI programmes and exploring possible links with the strategic priorities of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region to be held on 3 March, 2021 at 14:15-15:15 CET.
This workshop will specifically focus on possibilities to link NDICI assistance with macro-regional priorities. The Danube region will be used as an example. During the workshop, the opportunities outlined in the new regulatory framework will be presented.
The session will also present the embedding tool developed by the Danube Strategy Point. This tool - which screens the actions of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) Action Plan - also covers NDICI. Moreover, the session will provide national perspective by reflection on the programming processes in Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova (main actors, milestones), preliminary national priorities for the future NDICI programmes and possible links with the EUSDR.
