STRUCTURAL FUNDS [2007-13 budget is €347bn = ⅓ EU budget]Objectives are regional development : • Convergence • Regional Competitiveness • Territorial Cooperation
INTERREG IVC €321m = 0.1% of Structural Funds budget• builds networks to develop good practice and facilitate the exchange
and transfer of experience by successful regions. • showcases what regions do well, to the benefit of those still investingPriority areas : • innovation and the knowledge economy, • environment and risk preventionRegional Initiative Projects | Capitalisation Projects
WHAT IS INTERREG IVC?
A = cross-border (52)B = trans-national (13)C = interregional (3)
WHAT IS CAPITALISATION
• Transfer of “previously identified good practices” into mainstream Structural Funds programmes
• Must be measurable:• Investment• Competitiveness Convergence
• Target is the Regional Operational Programme: policy impact – getting something done
• Project output: a Regional Action Plan for each region
= Accelerate the transfer of good ideas
PIMMS CAPITAL is a Fast Track Network

The PIMMS Transfer Methodology
• Seeing-is-believing • Key decision-makers… not just from project-
partners but from all relevant organisations (“Deep Delegations”)
• Critical Success Factors: what’s the magic ingredient that will allow the transfer
• Project has a tight-loose structure: many bilateral actions, so partners set their own agenda
• Own-language working: so that key decision-makers can properly participate
The PIMMS CAPITAL Questions
• How can mobility management be adopted more effectively in regional transport and sustainability policy?
• How to spread the understanding of mobility management?
• How to overcome the problem of administrative competencies?
• How to demonstrate the impact of mobility management?
