The diverse regions of
the Northern Periphery Programme area share common features such as harsh
climate conditions, sparseness of population and remoteness. Transnational
cooperation provides excellent opportunities for finding new ways to address
shared challenges and explore new opportunities.

Programme
To be considered eligible for funding, a project must concentrate on issues that require transnational cooperation and that are of relevance to the characteristics of the programme area. The regions of the Northern Periphery share many features. Sparseness of population, rurality, insularity, harsh climate and peripherality are common across the programme area.
Between 2007 and 2013, the Programme will allocate €45 million to projects, of which €35.115 million in European funding (ERDF) will be available to partners in Member States (Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Sweden) and €10.155 for partners in the Non Member States (Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway).
