This call aims to strengthen cross-border cooperation in key areas such as education, healthcare, culture, sustainable tourism, civic engagement, environmental protection, climate adaptation, and innovation — all with the goal of fostering a smarter, greener, more social, and better-connected SK-AT border region.

  • A more social SK-AT border region
  • A better cooperating SK-AT border region
