After one year of hard-working, the Joint Secretariat is taking some holidays. Like so, our offices will be close from 22/12 to 2/01.

But first, our team started working on activities which will be developed in 2018. “Capitalising” will be our leitmotiv, making our best to highlight the concrete results and benefices of the projects financed through our programme for our territory and citizens. With this in mind, we will launch an assessment on the projects impact during the different programming periods. The results will be the base of a big event on capitalization that we will organise in Brussels, in June, aiming at honoring 15 years of transnational territorial cooperation in South-West Europe. Furthermore, new actions will be developed: testimonies, interviews, storytelling, etc. in order to underline the most human face of Sudoe.

In another hand, the Second Call for Proposals will come to an end, with the approval of new projects in the sectors of innovation andthe valorization and preservation of the cultural and natural heritage. The third Call for Proposal will succeed and with its launch, all kind of activities related to Calls as such as online seminars, webinars, support material and so on.

Lastly, we will continue assisting the beneficiaries and informing the public in general.

And with this ambitious programme, we conclude wishing you a merry Christmas!
