Why a Liaison Office MED/ENPI?

The MED transnational cooperation programme has a partially overlapping geographical coverage with the Mediterranean Sea Basin Neighbourhood Programme (ENPI CBC MED), in this case, as is stated on the EU regulations, both programmes need to be closely coordinated, in order to develop synergies and maximise their respective contribution. Such task is being carried out by the Liaison  Office MED/ENPI CBC MED, located in Valencia, following three main objectives:

  • To inform and guide potential beneficiaries on the particularities and differences between the MED and ENPI CBC MED Programme;
  • To promote exchange of experiences between the beneficiaries of MED and ENPI CBC MED areas;
  • To encourage and facilitate capitalisation of best practices and results achieved by the two programmes MED and ENPI CBC MED.

Possibilities for Mediterranean countries to participate to the ETC MED strategic calls

Along the last events, the ETC MED Programme has been encouraging the participation of non EU Countries in their Strategic call, in the case this meant an added value for the project. In this sense, if you are a EU MED Lead partner in the ETC MED Strategic call and think your project will improve and makes a difference with a partner from a Southern or Eastern Mediterranean country, do not hesitate in contacting with the Liaison Office MED_ENPI CBC MED in  Valencia: acitores_mer@gva.es
