Harmonisation of Missions in the Danube region

Programme 2021 - 2027 Interreg VI-B Danube

Date of latest update: 2025-12-17

Description

Description (EN):

The main objective is to harmonise the implementation of the European Missions on the Danube region level. We observe significant disparities in the level of understanding, setup, and implementation of the European Missions among European regions. Therefore, within the proposed project, we aim to minimalize these disparities and help set up an effective Missions governing model on the Danube region level. In the HARMONMISSIONS project, we want to aim at two concrete areas of the EU Missions: 1. Adaptation to Climate Change 4.100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 In addition to concrete solutions to the problems in these areas, the EU Missions also aim to establish new forms of governance, cooperation and citizen involvement. The primary objective of the HARMONMISSIONS project is to facilitate these forms of cooperation as set out in the EU Missions. The interest of the project is to create channels for cooperation between partners in the areas of Missions 1 and 4. The need for cooperation lies in the fact that climate change cannot be tied to a specific country. On the contrary, it transcends national borders and therefore there is a need to cooperate to tackle climate change. The aim of the project is therefore to create a platform that facilitates cooperation between partners and raises awareness of the missions among the professional and lay public. The concrete specification of the project on two selected climate mission areas also aims to create a platform within a narrowly specified framework, whose best practices and established organisational structure could be used in the region for cooperation in other EU Mission areas. In this way, the sustainability of the results and outputs of the project will be ensured for other EU Mission projects. The aim is to promote active stakeholder participation in the EU Mission projects, facilitate project involvement and increase project success. The project also seeks to create networks of contacts that will enable partnerships to be established in specific EU projects related to the EU Missions. EU Missions’ ambitious goals are related/connected to wider EU policies, strategies, and initiatives. By focusing on the creation of an organisational structure in Mission 1, the project subscribes to the EU Adaptation Strategy and the European Green Deal. These strategies aim to contribute to climate change adaptation through international cooperation. International cooperation will be the main ambition of the project. Mission 4 emphasizes the involvement of local, regional, and national governments, citizens, as well as investors and entrepreneurs to achieve the goals set out in this mission. Their cooperation is essential for the sustainability of the mission's results. As cooperation is also essential for success in this mission, the HARMONMISSIONS project aims to create an organisational structure composed of all these actors. Within it, knowledge sharing and collaboration will be able to take place, to create synergies between existing initiatives and to target the current needs of cities and other partners. Based on the focus on creating an organizational structure for the platform in the areas of climate missions, we have defined the following target groups: government, researchers and innovators, education institutions, small and large businesses, investors, and civil society. We see the involvement of the expert community in the platform as an essential means to increase country and partner engagement in mission-related challenges. Successful projects will be able to directly address current needs. We see the involvement of the general public as beneficial in terms of raising awareness in the field and consequently exerting bottom-up pressure. It will also increase the formation of civil society. Moreover, their timeline extends to 2030 when concrete results are expected. In the meantime, the EU policies will continue developing and Missions will (may need to) be adapted and enriched by new strategies and objectives. An EU policy observatory (EMO platform) will be developed that will gather information on relevant EU policies, produce a user-friendly description and make them available to National Contact Points (NCPs) and the public on the project’s website. Furthermore, other EU programmes and strategies, such as the Cohesion Funds and the Recovery and Resilience funds, EUSDR contribute to similar goals and policies. Collaboration with national and regional networks supporting such EU programmes will be built to organise joint events/raise awareness of the common challenges. Within the project we aim to set up an EU policies observatory tool (EMO platform) that will be designed to collect information about the most relevant EU policies impacting the EU Missions how they evolve/change during the lifetime of the project, and what impact these changes have on the Missions. This tool will help DR countries to set up proper national measures.

Actual Achievements (EN):

The Harmonmission project started on 1.1.2024, while already on 19.1. the consortium held its first online meeting, where the plan of project activities for the first period as well as the technical issues related to the implementation of the project were reviewed. The first personal meeting of the entire consortium took place in March. In the first period, the consortium primarily focused on SO1 and SO3. Within SO1, DR Advisory groups (D1.3.1 and D1.3.2) as well as the DR Steering Committee (D1.1.1 and D1.1.2) were created. Each project partner nominated members of these groups. The coordinator of SO1 is LIR and they handled the work on this work package professionally. In addition to the nominations of members of the DR AG and SC, documents D1.1.3 and D1.3.3 - Rules of procedures were also jointly created, which defined the scope of duties of members of the DR SC and DR AG. Since the project aims to involve the largest possible number of stakeholders active in the topics of EU Missions, documents D1.3.4 - MoU - Memorandum of understanding were also created. Each PP actively addressed potential stakeholders, while we managed to involve a total of 18 members in the project in this way. As part of SO3, work on project communication began, in which project posters were published for each PP, and the DELIVERABLE 3.1.1 COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION (C&D) STRATEGY FOR THE CLIMATE-ORIENTED EU MISSIONS document was also prepared. SO3, which is coordinated by PP3 - ARC FUND, is extremely important for the fulfillment of project goals. ARD FUND coordinated the project work professionally. As part of D3.2.1 - Analysis of the Needs, we managed to get up to 116 answers from experts on the subject of EU Missions with the help of an online questionnaire. Thanks to these answers, we were able to produce the document in high quality. Based on these findings, another extremely important document D3.2:2 - Training and Expert Events Plan was developed, which is focused especially on the structure of trainings and workshops that will be implemented in the following periods. The entire consortium worked on project activities and outputs with maximum expertise. As part of SO2, activity leaders preliminarily defined the primary technical requirements of the platforms, the development of which will begin in the following period. As part of the project plan, all activities, deliverables, and outputs defined in the AF were fulfilled. During the second period of the Harmonmissions project, the consortium continued to work together on all three work packages. Within SO1, regular meetings of experts from the DR Advisory groups as well as the DR Steering committee continued. The leader of this work package is LIR, while the coordination of project activities and meetings was always in cooperation with the entire consortium, but primarily with the partners responsible for specific activities - Košice and UEFISCDI. Online meetings of the working groups took place on 03.07.2024, 11.09.2024 and 11.12.2024. Within the second period, a physical meeting of the working groups also took place in Košice, on 23. - 24.11.2024. These meetings were extremely productive and the experts not only collect data but also elaborate in detail the groundwork from the participating countries of the Danube region with the aim of preparing the Strategy for coordination of involvement in EU Missions in the Danube region in the best possible quality. Within the second work package, intensive work was also carried out on the preparation of the project website and a specific project platform. The leader of this package is IMTM, with primary participation also from the partners responsible for their selected platforms. Zavod DIH, Košice, as well as SOVVA consulted and prepared technological specifications so that the platforms would perfectly serve the set goals. During the second period, the basic work on the platforms was practically completed, with the website as well as all three platforms (SHARED, EMO & CCC) being made available online. We consider this a major milestone in fulfilling the goals in the form of harmonization of participation in EU Missions. The platforms will be the primary place where interested parties will be able not only to learn all the basic information or news, but also to realistically look for partners with whom they would like to prepare a project proposal. Partners from Bulgaria (ARD Fund) coordinating work package number three worked in cooperation with the lead partner from CVTI as well as the rest of the consortium on activities aimed at raising awareness of EU Missions as well as training plans, workshops and planning of brokerage events. Within activity 3.1, the Newsletter was technically and design-wise completed, which will start to be distributed during the next period at regular monthly intervals. The entire consortium will be involved in its preparation based on a previously prepared Newsletter preparation plan. Within activity 3.2, intensive work was carried out on the preparation and completion of supporting materials for trainings and workshops that will primarily be organized in the next period. Under the leadership of ARC Fund, a Train-the-trainers workshop was organized for the partners, responsible for the organization of in-person and online trainings under Activity 3.2. This workshop was held online, on 12 Dec 2024. Following the creation of profiles on social networks Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, we launched our communication and dissemination campaign. This included the introduction of all project partners and their best practices. Posting on social media also provided project partners with the opportunity to highlight their key activities and events related to Missions 1 and 4. The coordination of the project consortium is set up to closely monitor the status of project activities as well as to obtain feedback from all partners. Regular project online meetings are therefore organized every month, while a physical meeting for project management took place in Košice on 24.11.2024. Regular meetings ensure the smooth running of planned activities. As well as in the previous period, all activities, deliverables, and outputs defined in the AF were fulfilled. During the third project period, activities progressed under all three Specific Objectives. Specific Objective 1 advanced through two meetings of the DR Advisory Groups (AGs) and two meetings of the DR Steering Committee (SC). The overall fourth meeting of the Advisory Groups was held online on 6 March 2025, jointly for AGs addressing Mission 1 and Mission 4. The discussion focused on the preparation of the Strategy for the Coordination of Involvement in EU Missions in the Danube Region and on the potential role of DR SC experts in contributing to the strategy’s development. On the following day, 7 March 2025, an online meeting of the DR Steering Committee took place. Members reviewed the draft framework of the Strategy and provided comments for integration into the ongoing work. The second Advisory Group meeting within this period was organised on 27 May 2025 in Banja Luka, hosted by project partner LIR. Again, AGs for Missions 1 and 4 met jointly. The session was dedicated to defining the long-term strategic vision of the emerging Strategy. Finally, on 28 May 2025, members of the DR Steering Committee convened to further discuss the strategy’s development process, with nominated experts actively shaping its content and direction. In the previous reporting period, three project platforms were created within a single website under Specific Objective 2. During the third period, the activity leader IMTM, in cooperation with other project partners, updated the platforms and website content while also promoting them through social media and other communication channels. Particular attention was given to refreshing the gallery and news sections, alongside updates to other parts of the website. Specific Objective 3 focused on increasing awareness of EU climate-oriented Missions among both the general public and professional audiences. As part of these efforts, six monthly newsletters were published during the period. In addition, following the announcement of new project calls under Missions 1 and 4, several events were organised: - An online workshop and training in Bulgaria, both coordinated by project partner ARC Fund. - A national capacity-building workshop organised by DIHS, followed by a brokerage event co-organised with CVTI SR. - An in-person training in Bucharest on 19–20 June 2025, organised by UEFISCDI, which focused on developing EU projects related to Missions 1 and 4. Similarly, during the third period, the First Year Review was held online on 12 February 2025. At this meeting, project partners presented to Johannes Gabriel from MA/JS the progress achieved under each Specific Objective, the updated work schedule, the status of financial management, and the implementation of the project’s communication campaign.

Relevant linked projects:

The Transnational Cooperation on the Missions Approach - TRAMI project (EN) | The TRAMI project is known for its focus on EU Missions. However, the HARMONMISSIONS project will differ from TRAMI in its more specific focus. In addition to focusing exclusively on countries from the Danube region, HARMONMISSIONS will also focus exclusively on climate-oriented Missions 1 "Climate change") and 4 ("Cities"). The greater specificity will allow for deeper linkages and cooperation in the focused areas of the Missions. HARMONMISSIONS also aims to establish a Project Steering Body that will actively involve other relevant national institutions. It will seek to work synergistically with the TRAMI project and attract even more participants from the DR region. Concrete cooperation can be established in the exchange of contacts in climate-oriented missions. The HARMONMISSIONS project will be able to provide the TRAMI project with an overview of current legislative and other developments in these missions. Based on the synergy of the two projects, the Danube region community will be strengthened with extended knowledge of EU missions. (EN), NetZeroCities (EN) | The NetZeroCities project, funded by Horizon 2020, aims for 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030. Its main objective is to help cities overcome the current structural, institutional and cultural barriers they face to achieve climate neutrality by 2030 in line with the mission's goals. The HARMONMISSIONS project will aim to collaborate with and provide access to the established governance platform to advance the set objectives through contacts in the platform from the DR region. The HARMONMISSIONS project will establish a Climate City Contract (CCC) coordination platform to help cities participating in the EU Mission 4 overcome the barriers to achieving climate neutrality by 2030. This will enable the two projects to work more closely together to help participating cities in this area and thus motivate them to engage more strongly in the 4th EU Mission. (EN), MOSAIC (EN) | The MOSAIC project, funded by Horizont 2020, aims to study, prove and assess how solutions to big challenges such as leading big cities towards climate neutrality can be made possible and enhanced by actively involving all concerned actors through sound methodological approaches. In particular, MOSAIC focuses on understanding how the full role of citizens in co-innovation can be met and fairly rewarded. It will identify and classify elements of best co-creation practices to engage all parts of the quadruple helix (science, policy, industry and society) in open innovation, paying particular attention to the involvement of the private sector (business and industry). The HARMONIMISSIONS project will build on the project by providing best practices at the institutional level. It is precisely the views and exchange of best practices at the different levels of actors involved that will contribute to further knowledge related to the EU climate-oriented missions. By involving actors from the Danube region more strongly, the MOSAIC project will gain new insights into the issue. The exchange of perspectives between the projects will be mutual and mutually beneficial.
(EN), NCP4Missions - Network of National Contact Points for the five EU Missions (EN) | The Horizon Europe project (starting 9/2023) provides continuous capacity building measures for NCPs (e.g. E-learnings, Deep Dives, Meet&Share, Mission Updates) to support less experienced NCPs and to provide more consistent Mission NCP services to applicants. Adding to this, brokerages, workshops and digital tools are offered to potential Mission applicants. The project will establish important collaborations with all relevant Mission stakeholders (e.g. Mission Hubs, Mission Implementation Platforms, NCP networks) to detect synergies and to foster potential joint activities. Long-term impacts can be expected in the fields of policy, science and society. As NCP4Missions will function as interface between the European Commission (EC), MS/AC and the NCPs, a better exchange of information on the EU Missions will be triggered. This will affect political decisions on EC and national level in support of the implementation of the Missions.
The consistency of NCP support services in Europe and beyond will lead to more equal opportunities of applicants of different countries. Through an enhanced knowledge base on Missions in R&I organisations, higher participation rates and a better quality of Mission-tailored proposals can be expected, resulting in innovative projects.
Awareness raising and civil engagement activities will impact the environmental awareness, health and well-being of citizens. The projects’ actions will generate an increased participation of civil actors and social innovations in the Mission proposals. (EN)

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

EUStrategyDanubeRegion As the project aims to strengthen cooperation between countries in the region, the HARMONMISSIONS project will contribute its EUSDR activities to PA10 - INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITIES & COOPERATION. The project will specifically contribute to the following Target (T) PA10:
- T 1.2: At the end of the project, it will be possible to contribute to policy guidelines for policy design in the field of EU Missions.
- T 2,3: The project will contribute to facilitating cooperation between countries. It will help them to form more effective and targeted consortia in projects focused on EU Mission Areas 1 and 4 so that they can benefit more from EU project funding.
- T5: Funding from the project will be used to create various platforms to raise awareness of and engage with EU missions and therefore ultimately and secondarily raise additional sources of funding that will focus on the needs of the local population and the country about climate change.
- T6: The project will involve different levels of national, local and grassroots organizations, which from the international perspective of the project will create a suitable base for cooperation between other international actors at different levels - the project will aim to involve as wide a community as possible to work together
- T 7.1, T7.2: The project intends to involve civil society in the topic. In this context, the project will also involve young people for whom the EU Missions are a topical issue, as well as other relevant civil society organisations.
- T8: By specifically involving cities, the project will also contribute to this area of Target PA10.
EuropeanGreenDeal The HARMONMISSIONS project is equally committed to this document, aiming to create an organisational structure among the countries in the region that will address climate change and the possibilities of engaging projects that will specifically address it.
TerritorialAgenda2030 The HARMONMISSIONS project coincides with the Territorial Agenda 2030 on several points. Through its activities, the project can specifically contribute to the promotion of the principles mentioned in the Territorial Agenda. The HARMONMISSIONS project is in line with the priorities expressed in the Territorial Agenda 2030. It will fulfil and enrich these during the project duration.
The HARMONMISSIONS project focuses on climate mission areas and thus seeks to reduce climate risks and pressures for affected regions by educating the public about the principles and opportunities for engaging in these missions. The project seeks to increase interest in these missions through the submission of specific international climate-focused projects in the region. The implementation of these projects will also begin to reduce climate risks in the respective countries.
The project is also in line with the Territorial Agenda 2030 in terms of the need for governance and the establishment of cooperation, which is also related to the interconnection between regions. Ensuring a sustainable future for all territories requires international cooperation and coordination, which the HARMONMISSIONS project aims to establish in the field of climate missions.
Joining forces across borders, including Interreg programmes and projects, can create the critical mass needed to develop and promote synergies while reducing economic, social and environmental fragmentation and negative externalities.
As also stated in the Territorial Agenda 2030, given the different geographical specificities, integrated management between countries is also of paramount importance. The HARMONMISSIONS project will establish integrated governance in the field of environment and climate-neutral and smart cities.
Other The HARMONMISSIONS project is also in line with the principles of the New Leipzig Charter, which it will implement and contribute to promoting.
This strategy mentions that cities need both government and non-government support to promote environmental principles. The HARMONMISSIONS project aims to provide cities with such support. That is why some cities in the Danube region are directly involved in the project. The focus will be on cooperation in the management of EU climate missions.
The project will involve institutions from different levels of government. Bringing them together will create the prerequisite for increasing the involvement in EU climate missions.
The New Leipzig Charter underlines the importance of EU funding to develop urban development. The HARMONMISSIONS project, which is part of the Interreg Danube programme, also aims to help cities to become more actively involved and manage participation in EU missions.
The HARMONMISSIONS project is also aimed at sharing best practices among partners and stakeholders. Vertical and horizontal knowledge exchange is also emphasised in the strategy. The establishment of an effective Governing Body and Advisory Bodies will allow for better sharing and transfer of information from the international to the national level. Knowledge exchange is a cycle that will be supported by the HARMONMISSIONS project.
