This forum is based on the outcomes of the Workshop ESPON and INTERREG in the UK - Building Knowledge Capital (workshop programme) which took place in London on 8 March 2010. It was aimed at UK practitioners and researchers who are involved in INTERREG or ESPON projects, or who are interested in developing projects for current and future rounds. It offered a unique UK opportunity to explore priorities, develop connections, share and test ideas and make recommendations.
