Does your project shine? Apply for the Regiostar Awards
The RegioStars Awards are now open for applications!
If your project has produced interesting outcomes, then you should consider to apply. Being nominated for a RegioStar Award is a great way to spotlight your project and its achievements.
RegioStar Awards honour EU-funded projects demonstrating excellence and new approaches in regional development. They are handed out at a high-visibility event at the EURegionsWeek in Brussels 12-15 October.
Who can apply?
The awards are open for ongoing and completed Interreg projects, with a start date in January 2007 or later.
The European Commission is looking for mature Interreg projects able to demonstrate that their innovative ideas work in practice. Therefore, you should only apply if your project a) falls within one of the award categories below and b) has produced tangible outcomes and can showcase achievements.
Five categories
One winner will be selected for each of the following categories:
- Industrial transition for a smart Europe
- Circular economy for a green Europe
- Skills & education for a digital Europe
- Citizens engagement for cohesive European cities
- 30 years of Interreg: Youth empowerment for cooperation across borders (topic of the Year).
In addition, an award will be given for the 'public choice' winner, based on public votes.
