'Building cross-border cooperation'

ITEM has seen many cross-border projects in which cooperation, solidarity and support contribute to the well-being of a border region and have even literally saved lives (e.g. EMRIC and PREpare). This type of project needs the support of the authorities concerned, a good structure, well-developed knowledge platforms to work and the necessary legal or administrative instruments to facilitate the operation of these cooperation projects.
