20 New developments affecting INTERREG Cofinancing rates to 60% (at discretion of JTS) Thematic focus rather than sectoral one New performance framework for monitoring and demonstrating outcomes A three year period between commitment and spend. Citizens and enterprises to be involved in the codesign of projects (not just implementation) Maritime and SMEs in all priorities! Embrace the Quadruple Helix Model - government, industry, academia and civil participants work together to co-create the future and drive structural changes Speed up and demonstrate the implementation of new demonstration projects. New state aid thresholds for partners engaged in INTERREG projects under the Block exemption rules (see provision 41 on page 8)
