Following a Master's degree in European Studies at the Université Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle, I've been working for the Interreg Grande Région program for the past 4 years. I'm bilingual (French/German) and live on the border.
For over 30 years, the Interreg Grande Région program has supported cross-border cooperation between local and regional partners in the Grande Région. The program is co-financed by the European Union and implemented by 11 partner authorities in the border regions of Germany, Belgium, France and Luxembourg. For the period 2021-2027, the program has a budget of almost 182 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to finance projects that will make the Grande Région greener, more social, closer to citizens and endowed with better governance.
