TNCOOP is an ESPON Project of the Interreg Transnational Programme, which explores the needs and opportunities for future cooperation under the Thematic Action Plan “Living, working and travelling across borders”. The project contributes to ESPON’s stock of research and provides new European territorial evidence in the framework of the ESPON 2030 Programme.

TNCOOP explores how transnational cooperation can evolve beyond 2027, by analysing development patterns, governance models and strategic priorities across all 13 Interreg transnational programme areas.
