STRUCTURAL FUNDS [2007-13 budget is €347bn = ⅓ EU budget]Objectives are regional development : • Convergence • Regional Competitiveness • Territorial Cooperation

INTERREG IVC €321m = 0.1% of Structural Funds budget• builds networks to develop good practice and facilitate the exchange

and transfer of experience by successful regions. • showcases what regions do well, to the benefit of those still investingPriority areas : • innovation and the knowledge economy, • environment and risk preventionRegional Initiative Projects | Capitalisation Projects

WHAT IS INTERREG IVC?

A = cross-border (52)B = trans-national (13)C = interregional (3)

WHAT IS CAPITALISATION

• Transfer of “previously identified good practices” into mainstream Structural Funds programmes

• Must be measurable:• Investment• Competitiveness Convergence

• Target is the Regional Operational Programme: policy impact – getting something done

• Project output: a Regional Action Plan for each region

= Accelerate the transfer of good ideas

PIMMS CAPITAL is a Fast Track Network

The PIMMS Transfer Methodology

• Seeing-is-believing • Key decision-makers… not just from project-

partners but from all relevant organisations (“Deep Delegations”)

• Critical Success Factors: what’s the magic ingredient that will allow the transfer

• Project has a tight-loose structure: many bilateral actions, so partners set their own agenda

• Own-language working: so that key decision-makers can properly participate

The PIMMS CAPITAL Questions

• How can mobility management be adopted more effectively in regional transport and sustainability policy?

• How to spread the understanding of mobility management?

• How to overcome the problem of administrative competencies?

• How to demonstrate the impact of mobility management?
