The Northern Periphery Programme 2007-2013 aims to help peripheral and remote communities on the northern margins of Europe to develop their economic, social and environmental potential. The success of the programme will be built on joint projects creating innovative products and services for the benefit of the programme partner countries and Europe as a whole. The diverse regions of the Northern Periphery Programme area share common features such as harsh climate conditions, sparseness of population and remoteness. Transnational cooperation provides excellent opportunities for finding new ways to address shared challenges and explore new opportunities. The Northern Periphery Programme 2007-2013 (NPP) is part of the European Commission’s Territorial Cooperation Objective. More about Territorial Cooperation… Programme Area
The Northern Periphery Programme 2007-2013 covers a vast area: the EU Member States of Finland, Ireland, United Kingdom (Scotland and Northern Ireland) and Sweden and Non EU Member States Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Norway. More… Priorities
Two priorities have been defined based on the visions and objectives of the Northern Periphery Programme 2007-2013. Each project that applies for funding must address one of these priorities: - Promoting innovation and competitiveness in remote and peripheral areas
- Sustainable development of natural and community resources

A percentage of 60% of the funding is available for projects applying under Priority 1 and 40% for projects under Priority 2. More… Who can apply?
Partners from all sectors of society can participate in the programme, including regional and local authorities, national and regional development organisations, research and educational institutions and the private sector.
