European Cooperation Day will be celebrated across Europe and in neighboring countries for the first time ever on 21st
September 2012. With 75 European Territorial Cooperation programmes on board, more than 100 local events will take
place all over Europe during the week of 17th --- 23rd September. The aim of the campaign, which carries the slogan
‘‘Sharing borders, growing closer,’’ is to celebrate the achievements of cooperation between European regions and
countries. Since the beginning of the 1990s, more than 20,000 projects, co-funded by the EU, have contributed to
improving the lives of European citizens across borders, from creating jobs to protecting the environment to improving
health care services, transport and energy.
Međimurje County boasts the highest number of implemented CBC projects in Croatia due to its favorable geographic
position at the border with two EU countries and proactive stakeholders from public and private sectors. In order to
further promote territorial cooperation with our neighboring countries and present some of the results achieved so far,
ongoing initiatives and plans for the future Technology Innovation Centre Međimurje, Regional Development Agency
Međimurje REDEA, Međimurje University of Applied Sciences, Međimurske vode and Međimurje County with the support
