At its 6th meeting in June 2025, the Monitoring Committee of the Slovenia-Hungary Interreg Programme together with approval of nine new standard projects also decided to close the currently running Open Call for proposals for standard projects and launched new Open call this autumn. The deadline for submission of applications under the new call is expected to be the second half of January 2026.

      

In June 2025, the Monitoring Committee of the Slovenia-Hungary Interreg Programme held its sixth meeting, during which important decisions were taken on the further directions and implementation of the programme. One of the most important results of the meeting was the selection of nine new standard projects for co-financing, further strengthening cross-border cooperation between the two countries.

The meeting also included an overall assessment of the financial situation of the programme. Based on the progress of the projects approved so far and the use of resources, the Monitoring Committee decided to close the currently running Open Call for proposals for standard projects. This decision is aimed at enabling the programme to coordinate resources more efficiently and to be better prepared for the next call cycle. The Monitoring Committee also announced that a new Open Call for proposals for standard projects will be launched later this autumn. The exact details and conditions of the call will be published soon. In the new Open Call for proposals, the programme expects applicants to focus mainly on the following topics:

  • adaptation to climate change measures and prevention and management of climate-related risks: floods and landslides, others, e.g. storms and drought (including awareness raising, civil protection and disaster management systems, infrastructures and ecosystem-based approaches);
  • protection, development and promotion of natural heritage and eco-tourism other than Natura 2000 sites;
  • development of cycling infrastructure.

The Slovenia-Hungary Interreg Programme remains committed to the development of the border region, the strengthening of cooperation between communities and the building of a sustainable common future.
