On the 7th June Dr Arno van der Zwet presented results of the ESPON TERCO project at an INTERREG conference organised by the Norwegian Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development in Oslo. The main objective of ESPON TERCO is to investigate the contribution territorial cooperation makes to socio-economic development and cohesion policy in Europe.
The study examines various types of territorial cooperation which include all INTERREG A, B and C programmes as well as city twinning arrangements and trans-continental cooperation. The final report is due to be published in the autumn 2012.
