Small Project Fund - People to People 

While Interreg Meuse Rhine (NL-BE-DE) supports mostly projects with bigger budgets, we also recognize the value of smaller cross-border initiatives. To support these, the programme is providing EU-funding to the EGTC Euregio Meuse-Rhine, which has set up and is managing the Small Project Fund (SPF). 

The Small Project Fund supports initiatives aimed at cooperation between people and organisations in the border triangle of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The goal is to remove cross-border obstacles and bring citizens in the border region closer together.  

There are different funding possibilities for different project types. Both citizen-oriented “meeting/exchange” projects (Education Mobility) and projects that focus on the involvement/participation of people and civil society are supported (Micro projects and Small projects).  


The following themes are supported by the fund: 
 

  • Culture, sports & tourism, 
  • Education & training, 
  • Communication, 
  • Nature, environment & climate, 
  • Health, 
  • Citizen participation, 
  • Global themes of circular economy and (social) inclusion.
