UCORD: Resilience of the Institutional Capacity of International Territorial Cooperation Entities and Participants in Lviv Region
The Regional Development Agency of Lviv Region has launched the implementation of the Resilience of the Institutional Capacity of International Territorial Cooperation Entities and Participants in Lviv Region project to boost international territorial cooperation of the Lviv region in the context of European integration.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The suggested project envisages a comprehensive approach to strengthening international territorial cooperation in the Lviv region. The main activities of the project include:
- Organising a series of thematic seminars and increasing the involvement of entities and participants in international territorial cooperation.
- Creating an interactive environment — Living Lab — for sharing experiences and developing practical solutions.
- Drafting a concept of the regional programme for the development of international territorial cooperation.
These activities will bring together representatives from government, local authorities, businesses, educational and research institutions, as well as civil society organisations, seeking to improve the quality of life for the population of the Lviv region. The project will help build strong partnerships, foster trust, and align visions for interacting in the context of international territorial cooperation.
Potential actors and participants in international territorial cooperation often lack the knowledge, tools, and practical experience needed to establish international partnerships and develop high-quality joint regional and local development projects.
The project will include training for stakeholders and a living lab ‘from idea to project implementation’, involving a wide range of experts and partners. It will help boost international territorial cooperation in the context of European integration.
Project duration: 26 January 2026 to 30 November 2026
