The 122 projects approved within the four calls launched by the South East Europe Programme have achieved valuable results, contributing to the overall territorial development in the region. The programme is coming to its end and the 2014 event is named to be the closing conference to review, assess and present all the achievements gained since 2007 and to look at the future of transnational cooperation in the area.

Under the title "SEE VALUABLE ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THE FUTURE", the Conference will present some of the achievements and capitalisation opportunities gained thanks to the SEE Programme, and the latest developments concerning the three new transnational programmes in the area: Adriatic-Ionian, Balkan-Mediterranean and Danube.
