Priority 4 - Developing Inter-Regional Activity

Priority 4 aims to support the three main priorities in tackling problems that are applicable to the region to maximise learning from current and future inter-regional activity by developing mutually beneficial relationships with partners in the EU via study visits; work shadowing; exchange of professional expertise; workshops; case studies and conferences. The aim is to:

• Promote the transfer of know-how and good practice between the West Midlands and regions elsewhere in Europe in relation to successful policy approaches to raising productivity and improving economic and social cohesion
• Focus on how lessons can be applied in delivering high quality and innovative interventions in the Programme's three main priorities
• Stimulate inter-regional co-operation and improve the West Midland's ability to access non-structural/trans-national European funding programmes, where it currently performs poorly against other European as well as UK regions. It is intended to maximise the flow of funding into the region by securing complementary resources that can add value to the Programme and its objectives.
