This working group aims to "develop proposals for the development of new barrier-reducing initiatives anchored in local and regional needs".
They are addressing this objective in a number of themes:
- Cross-border integration of authorities
- Nordic experiences with barrier-reducing initiatives and cooperation
- Cross-border cooperation as part of EU cohesion policy
- Cross-border bridging over large distances
- Cross-border statistics
Within these themes, the working group will conduct a number of research projects that address current policy issues, and publish a variety of publications that illuminate the Nordic cross-border experiences.
The working group will function as a dialogue platform between the cross-border committees and Nordic Council of Ministers.
