Interreg Baltic Sea Region project platforms are taking cooperation to the next level. These strategic initiatives bring together results from over 100 projects – more than half from Interreg itself – to turn individual solutions into collective impact.
As the Programme’s main capitalisation tool, the platforms connect project outcomes, link with other EU and national programmes, and support the implementation of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). From sustainable mobility to coastal resilience, they enable public authorities and experts to apply practical solutions in policies and daily work.
Each of the eight platforms fosters synergies with Horizon, LIFE, other Interreg programmes, and expert networks like HELCOM. By aligning efforts across the region, they help deliver greener, more resilient communities and a stronger macro-regional impact.
Project platforms support the Strategy implementation:
BSR Mental Health – EUSBSR policy area Health
This project platform addresses mental health challenges by fostering transnational collaboration among public authorities, health professionals, and NGOs.
REAVES – EUSBSR policy area Culture
This project platform supports entrepreneurs in the film, gaming and music sectors and creates a robust ecosystem focused on talent retention and innovation through cross-regional and cross-sectoral efforts.
RegenT – EUSBSR policy area Tourism
This project platform tackles the dual challenge of climate change and tourism’s impact on our region and equips public authorities, sectoral agencies, and NGOs with essential resources to accelerate the transition to regenerative tourism.
Baltic PlaNet – EUSBSR policy areas Spatial Planning and Secure
This project platform supports municipalities in addressing growing climate change threats and helps them integrate extreme weather considerations into spatial planning while preserving natural and urban environments.
HAZGONE – EUSBSR policy area Hazards
This project platform connects downstream and upstream measures for cleaning up water polluted by hazardous substances and micropollutants, like pharmaceutical residues and PFAS, and preventing pollution at the source.
SEABAS – EUSBSR policy area Spatial Planning
This project platform focuses on ecosystem-based maritime spatial planning (MSP), helping authorities strike a balance between human activities at sea and nature conservation and biodiversity, which is further challenged by climate change.
EnTRA – EUSBSR policy area Energy
This project platform connects local and regional authorities working toward the energy transition and helps them consistently develop and maintain adequate energy transition strategies, through a self-audit guide, mentoring, and an institutional ambassador programme.
BSR Urban Mobility – EUSBSR policy areas Transport and Spatial Planning
This project platform equips cities, regional authorities, and policymakers with tools and best practices on sustainable, active and efficient urban mobility, and helps them implement multimodal transport solutions, zero-emission mobility, and data-driven decision-making.
