Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme 2014-2020

The Northern Periphery and Arctic 2014-2020 forms a cooperation between 9 programme partner countries. The NPA 2014-2020 is part of Interreg, supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and ERDF equivalent funding from non EU partner countries. Despite geographical differences, the large programme area shares a number of joint challenges and opportunities that can best be overcome and realised by transnational cooperation.

The NPA Response Group

When in early 2020 suddenly more or less all of Europe found itself on lockdown, a group of experts from the NPA programme area decided to work together to better understand what can be done in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

The NPA programme funds a group of COVID-19 response projects addressing: Clinical data, Mental health, Technological solutions, Communities' reponse and resilience, Economics and Emerging themes.

Complementing traditional services, apps such as ChatPal can help people in remote areas to support self-care and better manage their own wellbeing. The COVID-19 lockdown measures accelerated the need for such solutions.
