DIALOGUE – Dialogue for Innovation and Better Governance is a 15-month international cooperation project supported by the European Union through the Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme 2021–2027.
The total project budget is €535,609.50, and 90% of the funding (€482,048.55) is provided by the Interreg programme.
The project focuses on a common challenge in the Black Sea Basin region. The region has strong innovation potential, but cooperation between institutions is still limited. Many organizations work separately, and collaboration across sectors and countries is not always strong.
DIALOGUE aims to change this. The project brings people, institutions, and ideas together to create a more connected and collaborative innovation ecosystem in the region.
