    We asked the keep.eu 3.0 Group feedback on keep.eu

    The work on making keep.eu ready for the new programming period 2021-2027 is in full speed. While new data will be included and some features further developed, there are several elements on the site which are already well appreciated by users. We asked the keep.eu 3.0 Group what to keep, and this is what we found out:

    The big amount of well-organised data on especially projects and partners, together with powerful filtering options is highly appreciated.

    Geolocation of projects and partners makes it easy to find the content that is geographically close to the user.
    Possibility to import data directly from eMS (in the future: Jems) makes data management easier.
    Possibility to export data to Excel or via URL makes sharing and further work on the acquired data smoother.
    The visual presentation of the site is clear and makes it easily navigable.

    A website is never ready and the work continues. Now is a good time to share your experiences about keep.eu with us. If you have thoughts to share, don’t hesitate to drop us a line or two.

    European refugees helped by Interreg 20 June: World Refugee Day – every action counts!

    On the occasion of World Refugee Day on 20 June, the UN reminds us that refugees can contribute to society, and every action counts in the effort to create a more just, inclusive, and equal world. While 10% of the worlds refugees live in the EU (ec.europa.eu), solutions for their inclusion in the European societies have been high on the agenda also in many Interreg programmes and projects.

    We can cherish impressive initiatives like the Enter to Transform project helping refugees to start businesses in the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland and France, and the Rumourless Cities project tackling negative attitudes towards refugees as well as other minorities in societies in different parts of Europe. To find more Interreg, IPA and ENI CBC projects helping refugees to arrive, integrate and lead prosperous lives in their new home countries – check them out in keep.eu already today!

    Use keep.eu to map potential partner organisations

    The first new Interreg, Interreg IPA CBC and ENI CBC programmes are soon opening calls for new project applications. With new applicants comes the need to find new partners. With nearly 90,000 listed partners from all corners of Europe, keep.eu can offer great support in mapping potential partner organisations for cooperation in the new period. It is worth checking out the Partner section of keep.eu today to be well knowledgeable and guide the applicants. They can look for potential partners from all over the world and even contact them, in strict compliance with data protection rules.

    Treasures of the database – cultural and creative industries
    New opportunities for artists and creators

    We might not often think about it, but the cultural and creative industries are among Europe’s most dynamic sectors. They employ 8.7 million people in the EU, equivalent to 3.8% of the total workforce in the EU, representing 1.2 million enterprises (source: Eurostat). Many Interreg and ENI CBC projects have recognised the potential of these industries and worked e.g. for empowering cultural and creative entrepreneurs to revitalise abandoned city centres in the Danube region (CINEMA project), encouraging the sectors to make profit of stronger use of circular economy principles, while at the same time tackling increasing waste problem in the Mediterranean area (INNOMED-UP project), as well as making digital infrastructure better available for performing artists in the Estonian-Russian border region (NTIT project). Dive in deeper to keep.eu to find what’s being done with and for the artists and creative entrepreneurs in your part of Europe.

    Today is World Water Day

    Today is World Water Day, and we have a lot to cherish when we look at what Interreg, Interreg-IPA CBC and ENI CBC projects have done to increase our understanding of water, and to help us value, manage and protect this irreplaceable resource.

    In keep.eu you can find 2284 projects and nearly 500 documents related to water management, protection, environment and more. You can watch videos on the state of the Baltic Sea, read a policy brief on flood resilience in the North Sea Region, study reports on how storm waters are managed in the Adriatic-Ionian region, or check out a study on how Mediterranean tourism is made more sustainable.

    More documents are added to keep.eu daily, from Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC programme and project websites.

    Search projects in keep.eu also by budget size

    Today we bring you a new feature aimed at improving your searches in keep.eu. We also highlight the many documents, featured in keep.eu, that Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC projects have produced on a specific and important matter to many of the people that we serve.

    Keep.eu now includes a new filter to search the nearly 25,000 projects that it features – the possibility to filter projects by the size of their budget. As always, this criterion can be combined with any other filters available. Altogether, projects can now be searched using 16 different filters, and their documents with two additional filters, type and language.

    Energy efficiency: Get out from under the weather with Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC

    Energy poverty is widespread across the European Union. According to the European Commission, between 50 and 125 million people cannot afford proper indoor thermal comfort. As with many other issues, this is not only about resources but, to a large extent, about planning and expertise.

    Much has been produced in the field of energy efficiency by Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC. Keep.eu contains close to 200 documents on this matter, out of around 2,500 documents overall. More specifically, you can find in keep.eu important documentation about retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency, by eight different projects spanning much of Europe’s geography, and beyond, be they buildings for housing or for work, and both public and privately-owned. Check them out here.

    More documents are added to keep.eu daily, from Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC projects.

    Keep.eu will progressivly include new information in 2021

    Starting in 2021, keep.eu will progressively include new information, first on programmes, then on projects and partners, and in parallel on both countries and regions and statistics. This stems from the inauguration of a new programming period, and information will be added to keep.eu as programmes have it available. With the new programming period, new regulatory requirements come about, and new opportunities arise, to increase and improve the information that users can squeeze out of keep.eu’s database.

    Some of you have until now been part of the “Keep.eu 2.0 Group”. Interact and quite a few programmes and organisations kicked off the new keep.eu 3.0 process in December. In this process, foreseen to last for about one year, all interested programmes, the European Commission and representatives from the Member States will discuss the new information that keep.eu will contain on 2021-2027 programmes, projects and partners, and how it will be searched, displayed and exported. All 2021-2027 Interreg professionals who understand how they can improve their work with keep.eu are welcome to join the Keep.eu 3.0 Group. To learn more about the process, please refer to the kick-off meeting presentation.

    Please note that the new new 3.0 Group will replace the 2.0 Group, and that memberships are not automatically transferred. To join the Keep.eu 3.0 Group please email us at keep.support@interact-eu.net.
