Programm: Interreg Upperrhine

The cooperation programme Interreg V-A France - Germany - Switzerland (Rhin supérieur - Oberrhein) addresses the most important cross-border challenges linked to the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy in the Upper Rhine region.

Strategically, within the axis "Smart Growth" the programme contributes to a strengthened cross-border regional innovation capacity as well as to an increased cooperation of small and medium-sized enterprises and research and development sector across borders.

At the same time, within the axis "Sustainable Growth", the programme foresees actions aiming at improving the protection of plant and animal species, reducing the environmental impact of the economic development and increasing the share of transport of people and goods with a lower environmental impact.

Within the axis "Inclusive growth" the programme envisages support for projects promoting cross-border employment and development of strategic economic sectors in the Upper Rhine region.

Finally, within the axis "Territorial cohesion" the programme plans actions targeting the development and improvement of cross-border public services and the enhancement of the identification of citizens with the Upper Rhine region.
