This 7th call for projects is launched by the Interreg Euro-MED Programme under the Mediterranean Multiprogramme Mechanism, a strategic framework to strengthen cooperation on sustainable tourism among Interreg Programmes. This initiative now brings together ten Interreg Programmes, eight of which are part of this coordinated call.
This call reflects a shared commitment among the participating Interreg Programmes to transforming tourism into a driver for inclusive growth, climate resilience, and territorial cohesion across the Mediterranean, mitigating environmental degradation and ensuring equitable benefits for local communities.
It is important to underline that this is a coordinated call, not a joint one, as each Programme retains its own rules, budget and selection procedures. Despite the MMM coordination and common framework, each Programme will manage all formal steps of the call separately.
Potential beneficiaries must therefore apply to a single Interreg MMM Programme participating in this coordinated call.
Projects must be aligned with the Programme priorities (Priority 1: A Smarter Mediterranean & Priority 2: A Greener Mediterranean) under the Sustainable Tourism mission only.
Project proposals should focus on the valorisation and transfer of outputs already achieved, rather than on the development of entirely new ones. For this reason, project proposals submitted to this coordinated call must be based on at least one output developed under an MMM Programme other than the Programme to which the application is submitted.
