Northern Periphery Programme

Innovation: working together to develop new or innovative economic development solutions that can be applied in practice in more than one country/region;
Knowledge transfer: facilitating the transfer of economic development solutions, and their practical application, from one country/region to another;
Organisational learning: exchange of ideas, experience and good practice that improves the stock of organisational knowledge. Topics addressed should be of strategic interest for the daily work of all project partner organisations. Project outcomes should be implemented within the organisations where possible or by the organisations.

joint development
Cooperation between the partners to develop the project idea and the application. This means that project activities are developed and drafted in cooperation between the partners and that all agree to the work plan. A draft partnership agreement should also be in place and there should be joint agreement on the management structure.
joint implementation
Shared project work plan with transnational activities. Partner activities should not be carried out in isolation and should contribute to the objectives and overall results of the project. There should also be common agreement between partners on project decisions and changes.
joint staffing
Many project activities and tasks are of a common nature and could be jointly staffed by appointing a common project coordinator (normally the Lead Partner), work package coordinator, communication manager, etc.
joint financing
Partner budgets are collected into a shared transnational total project budget for all activities.

In addition:

Joint strategy for disseminating project results
Transnational impact; project outcomes are implemented in different parts of the programme area
