The INTERREG working group chose 7 projects to be submitted for the second round of selections. These projects will be examined by the Monitoring Committee on 8 December 2016.

On 7 July 2016 the INTERREG V Upper Rhine working group decided upon the projects who will be invited to submit a full application for funding, basing their decision primarily on scientific expertise. In all, 7 projects will be considered by the Monitoring Committee on 8 December 2016.

In order to best support the successful projects in the application process, the Coordination Office of the Science Pillar, in cooperation with the Euro-Institut and the Joint Secretariat of INTERREG Upper Rhine, organized informational workshops on 12 and 13 July 2016. These workshops served to provide information regarding the funding process of INTERREG, as well as to give the project partners helpful materials concerning the full grant application process.

The Coordination Office supports the project teams throughout the entire application process until they have submitted the final application. Additionally, the Office continues to work with projects that were not selected by assisting them in securing alternative funding.
