Since the videos are such a good way to tell stories and open views on variety of Programme’s actions, we look forward to show our audiences the whole project family and people behind them.
Now, we are ready with the first out of four priority releases. The journey starts from the Priority 2: Innovative, skilled and well-educated area, and the 17 Cross-Border Cooperation projects funded under this line.
