On 30 September 2026, CReSInMed was presented to delegates of the European Commission’s DG REGIO during an exchange meeting with beneficiaries of Interreg NEXT MED funded projects in Sardinia. The meeting was hosted at the premises of the Interreg NEXT MED Managing Authority in Cagliari.
The session brought together Sardinian organisations involved in projects supported by the Programme, offering an opportunity to share first-hand experiences and discuss the opportunities and challenges of implementing Interreg NEXT MED projects.
CReSInMed was presented by the project coordinator, Annamaria D’Angelo of Interforum, Lead Partner of the project. The presentation showed how CReSInMed works to strengthen the competitiveness and internationalisation capacity of rural tourism (M)SMEs across the Mediterranean, through capacity building, personalised internationalisation plans, networking, the creation of tourism clusters and innovative digital tools.
The meeting offered an opportunity to bring the project’s perspectives to a direct dialogue with the European Commission and the Programme’s management bodies, and to show how cooperation projects can generate tangible benefits for local businesses and territories.
The participation of CReSInMed in this exchange confirms the value of Mediterranean cooperation and of continuous dialogue between EU institutions, programme authorities and project beneficiaries in supporting sustainable and resilient local development.
