2019 main activities and milestones

2019 has been a remarkable year full of success for the Danube Transnational Programme (DTP). It was a busy time, full of amazing events, innovative ideas and challenges. And for the next year, we hope to face some new ones with you! Check below some 2019 milestones for the DTP. 

• The first step of the 3d call for proposals received 276 submissions with projects involving 2853 institutions from the Danube region. In its last meeting held in Chisinau, the DTP Monitoring Committee decided on the 61 projects to be invited to submit a full application for the second step of the 3rd call. The final assessment is still running.
• As in previous years, the DTP was one of the co- organisers of the 8th Annual Forum of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR), along with the Romanian Presidency and the European Commission. The forum was held in Bucharest (27-28/06) and the DTP organised 3 main activities: a plenary session under the name ''Present and future role of the Danube Transnational Programme in the Danube region” to explain the main achievements at programme and project level; a side event on the DTP Capitalisation Strategy; and two stands in the exhibition area for the programme and its projects. 
• On March, the DTP organised in Budapest a joint meeting for the Thematic Pole Leaders and EUSDR Priority Area Coordinators to discuss where the DTP Capitalisation Strategy process is heading to, reflect on its future and prepare the side event on Capitalisation to be organised during the EUSDR Forum in Bucharest.
• Among the 199 projects which submitted an application for the REGIOSTARS AWARDS 2019, the DTP project CityWalk made it within the 24 finalists. The Regiostars Awards ceremony took place in Brussels during the European Week of Regions and Cities and it brought very good news for our programme: CityWalk, after a long battle with more than 235.000 online votes collected for the 24 finalists, won the Public Choice Award!! This has been a great achievement for the DTP!! Apart from RegioStars, the programme actively participated in several activities during the European Week: It co-organised, together with other Interreg transnational programmes, the workshop ''The future of transnational cooperation: what impact in a changing Europe?'' and it presented how DTP projects contribute to face climate change during the 'Interreg Talks: Climate Change' workshop organised by Interact. Finally, DTP also contributed to the stand #MadeWithInterreg in the Agora exhibition area.
• DTP published in 2019 the brochure 'DTP's support to the EUSDR' to explain the synergies and links between the programme, its projects and the EU Strategy for the Danube Region.  
• After the project website and photo competitions of previous years, the DTP organised a Video Competition. Check here the amazing project videos winners of the competition!
• Finally, at the end of the year, DTP has been invited to participate in the United Nations Conference on Climate Change COP25 in Madrid. Together with other Interreg programmes, the contribution of DTP projects' results to face climate was presented during the session "Interreg versus Climate Change: results, challenges and opportunities" organised by Interact.
