Exemplary actions:

• Developing, demonstrating and implementing small-scale green technology investments (pilot projects) in waste management, water management, heating, air protection, production of energy from renewable sources and renewable energy storage.
• Developing and testing of innovative cross-border solutions aiming at improving and coordinating sustainable energy networks (e.g. development and reorganisation of smart grids, virtual power plants, heating supply, integration of storage, maritime transmission grids).
• Joint cross-border studies, strategies and action plans to mitigate water and air pollution in the South Baltic area through the application of innovative green technologies.
• Elaboration and testing of common cross-border standards in waste and water management, heating and air protection by public entities, incooperation with universities, research centres, companies and cooperatives of farmers and residents.
• Development and testing of innovative cross-border solutions aimed at decreasing the outflows of nutrients from small and diffuse sources in catchment areas.
• Elaboration of green policy strategies and patterns to overcome challenges and mobilise regional opportunities for renewable energies and energy efficiency, including models for cooperation with energy service companies on comprehensive energy solutions.
• Capacity building actions, transfer of knowledge and exchange of experiences about innovative green technology solutions to improve efforts of different actors to protect the water and air environment, contingency planning and promoting resource efficiency.

Beyond regular and small-scale cross-border cooperation projects, the Monitoring Committee may decide to co-finance strategic projects under this measure, i.e. projects that have a tangible impact on a significant part of the SBP area. Furthermore, there may be support for seed money activities, defined as drafting activities for a project concept, which can be further developed into an application to the SBP.

Public institutions and equivalent public entities in the South Baltic area.

Es werden nur solche Projekte unterstützt, bei denen Projektpartner aus mindestens zwei Teilnehmerländern zusammenarbeiten. Weitere Hinweise hierzu erhalten Sie auf der Homepage des South Baltic Programmes.

Projects will be submitted within dedicated calls for proposals. The rules for the submission of applications as well as the assessment and selection procedures will be described in the Programme Manual (Handbuch).

Weitere Hinweise zur Antragstellung finden Sie auf der Homepage des Interreg South Baltic.

Projects will be selected based on their ability to:

• Contribute to the delivery of the specific objectives and achievement of SBP indicators.
• Address the problems to be tackled in a way that justifies cross-border actions.
• Demonstrate solutions, technologies and approaches to the problems identified that are innovative (i.e. are not executed by the beneficiaries involved on a routine basis) and that are planned, designed and implemented in a cross-border partnership.
• Achieve durable and replicable outcomes (possible to be transferred to other geographical areas of the SBP).
• Contribute to the sustainable development.
• Promote equal opportunities and non-discrimination.
• Encourage equality between men and women.

The contribution of the project proposals in fulfilling the goals of the EUSBSR (EU strategy for the baltic sea region) will also be assessed.
