(Interreg VI-B) NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme

The Programme aims to remain a platform where the links between the participating countries are strengthened and new ones are created and where the regional actors get together and contribute to a sustainable management of resources for the benefit of local citizens.

The Programme will further deepen the cross-border cooperation in the Black Sea Basin in a transnational configuration, supporting four specific objectives:

1. Developing and enhancing research and innovation capacities;
2. Promoting climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention;
3. Enhancing protection and preservation of nature, biodiversity and green infrastructure;
4. Build up mutual trust, in particular by encouraging people-to-people actions.

The Programme builds upon the previous cooperation framework, the ENPI CBC Black Sea Basin Programme 2007-2013 and ENI CBC Black Sea Basin Programme 2014-2020, under which a total of 119 projects were awarded and implemented in 8 countries surrounding the Black Sea Basin.
