As a national authority within the Interreg Europe 2014-2020 programme, the Hauts-de-France Region is the leader of the French delegation, which is responsible for defending France’s interests before the partner authorities. Its tasks also include securing financial processes and flows, facilitating and coordinating a network of institutional actors and consulting with the State to implement an effective communication initiated by the national contact points with French actors to involve them in projects and to raise their awareness of the tools made available by the programme (thematic platforms). To that end, it must have sufficient human and material resources to carry out those missions.
