The second call for projects for the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) has now closed. It is foreseen that there will be two calls in 2023, with a call for preparatory projects in February/March 2023 and the third call taking place in April / May 2023.

The Interreg NPA Monitoring Committee is looking to fund projects in the following priorities:

• PRIORITY 1: Strengthening the innovation capacity for resilient and attractive NPA communities

• PRIORITY 2: Strengthening the capacity for climate change adaptation, and resource sufficiency in NPA communities

• PRIORITY 3: Strengthening the organisational capacity among NPA communities to make use of cooperation opportunities. Within this priority, the programme is especially seeking to engage young people in cooperation

The Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme is open to the entire Northern and Western region.

Applications for the Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme are submitted via the Jems platform, a user guide for the platform is available here.
