Historical Context

The EUSBSR was adopted by the European Council in 2009 as Europe's first macro-regional strategy. Interreg Baltic Sea Region has been supporting it since then — from 2009 to 2021, over 120 projects received more than €250 million in ERDF co-financing. The current 2021-2027 programme continues this work with over 115 projects and €212.1 million committed so far. A previous programme period ran 2014-2020.
