Is your organisation involved in promoting local tourism, eco-tourism, or cultural heritage in the east or south of Ireland? If so you may be eligible to apply for a grant under the Ireland Wales Programme 2014-2020!
€9.6M of funds are available for cross-border proposals to maximise the potential of Ireland and Wales’ natural and cultural assets, helping to increase visitor numbers to coastal communities (Priority 3 under the Interreg Ireland-Wales Programme).
A call for proposals has been opened for this priority area, with a particular interest in attracting engagement from the community and voluntary sector. Each project must have at least one Irish and one Welsh partner and a maximum of six joint partners. Click here to see a map of eligible areas.
Types of projects funded under this priority axis include establishing and developing networks and cooperation platforms; exchange of best practice, expertise, and/or technologies; pilot actions for testing out new processes, products or services that could attract investment; and other minor scale investments.
