The Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia Programme envisages projects of limited financial volume, or "small-scale projects," to contribute to the achievement of Programme objectives, particularly with reference to overcoming cross-border obstacles to cooperation and building trust between citizens and institutions by working on raising awareness and promoting mutual understanding and networking.
The Programme plans to implement the "small-scale projects" through the SMALL PROJECT FUND - SPF, established in accordance with Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1059. The SPF is dedicated to the initiatives within the framework of the European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica-Gorizia and foresees, according to the Programme provisions, the allocation of € 6,593,576.00 of ERDF funds to the EGTC GO, as sole beneficiary. The SPF will finance, under annual calls for proposals published by the GO EGTC, small projects under the Specific Objective 4.6 of the Programme with a bottom-up approach. These small projects will aim to "strengthen the role of culture and sustainable tourism in economic development, social inclusion and social innovation."
