Project activities focused on dissemination of information on the Cohesion Policy of the European Union, its history, developments, legislative and policy frameworks, with an emphasis on the results achieved in the EU regions. Dissemination tools were proposed as follows: a book, a video, an infographics, and a pilot test of innovative competition. The proposed content of the book consists of the theoretical, political and legislative framework of the Cohesion Policy of the European Union and practical case studies from the EU regions (from each Member State). The summaries of the book and the most important findings were be processed in the form of an audiovisual tool (video) and infographics. In order to disseminate information on the Cohesion Policy of the European Union, a pilot test of competition was organized to look for evidence of implemented projects implemented under the Cohesion Policy of the European Union in selected regions. The outputs were translated into several official languages of the European Union and Russian language as well.
Project I-CARE-SMART – INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM FOR SMART ELDERLY CARE was approved within the 3rd Call of the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE.
The project deals with the health and well-being of the elderly in Central Europe. This area is not only a societal challenge but also an opportunity to promote growth. The aim of the project is to support the development of innovative products and services meeting the special needs of the elderly and to support the development of a “silver economy”.
I-CARE-SMART partners aim to bring innovation closer to senior citizens and to create a structured collaboration framework for cooperation between all stakeholders in this field. I-CARE-SMART delivers a comprehensive toolset with practical guidance on how to engage seniors and businesses in user-focused co-creation and open innovation. The final goal is to build a transnational open innovation ecosystem for smart elderly care, which allows public authorities, universities, businesses, and the representatives of the elderly to regularly interact and share knowledge and information on the unmet needs of the elderly and on the potential solutions to address them. A total of 13 partners from Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany participate in the project.
Project CITYCIRCLE – Circular economy hubs in peripheral urban centres in Central Europe was approved within the 3rd Call of the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE.
CITYCIRCLE is improving innovation capacities of peripheral urban centers of Central Europe by introducing the circular economy system to partner cities. Peripheral cities of Central Europe are marked by lack of innovation cooperation and lack of access to global innovation processes. Circular economy (CE) has been acknowledged as a development concept that should provide sustainable, resource efficient development and a great pool for innovation of new technologies, services, solutions and business models to make our cities and regions better places to live and work.
The action plan is implemented under the Interreg Slovakia – Hungary cooperation program. The total budget of the action plan is EUR 4438314,37. The target area of the action plan, the Cserehát micro-region is characterized by a high rate of unemployment. The main reasons of this phenomenon are mainly the insufficient infrastructure, low level of education and high rate of ageing population. The overall objective of the TAPE is to reduce the unemployment rate in the micro-region, to re-establish the “Beautiful Cserehát” micro-region, to exploit its endogenous potential and to find solutions to the most serious problems. The above mentioned potential is that of local production, which supports the development of the region and is the central theme of the TAPE. The main objective is going to be achieved thank to the specific objectives of the TAPE, which are the following: to improve the quality of human capital, to improve the production infrastructure, to improve the selling conditions of local products and to develop a regional brand.
