The consortium composed of ADT Consult, eurêka 21, CPC Consultant, and t33 has been commissioned to carry out a study in support of the Managing Authority of the Interreg France-Italy (ALCOTRA) 2021-2027 cross-border programme. The study focuses on Interreg Specific Objective 1 (ISO 1) and aims to support its implementation within the programme, in view of the launch of the fourth call for projects scheduled for October 2025 and the preparation of the post-2027 programming period. The consortium's intervention is structured into three missions:

• Mission 1 (June-August 2025): Comparative analysis of ISO 1 implementation in selected Interreg programmes (benchmarking), and qualitative and quantitative analysis of ISO 1 projects already funded by the ALCOTRA programme.
• Mission 2 (September-October 2025): Based on the results of Mission 1 and the analysis of draft EU regulations for the post-2027 period, the consortium will develop an initial set of operational recommendations to guide the fourth ISO 1 call, scheduled for October 2025.
• Mission 3 (October-December 2025): Based on the recommendations formulated in Mission 2, the consortium will support the Managing Authority in their implementation through the drafting of operational sheets and technical documents outlining concrete intervention methods, required resources, and timelines.

Through the implementation of ISO 1 and with the support of the consortium, of which t33 is a member, the programme aims to overcome administrative barriers and promote more integrated and effective governance, contributing to the sustainable and shared development of the cooperation area.
