The project RELIEN is a beneficiary of the INTERREG V Upper Rhine programme, a programme developed by the European Union to support cross-border cooperation between France, Germany and Switzerland.
The projects co-funded by the INTERREG programme cover a wide range of subjects and are selected to respond to a strategy developed specifically for this territory. RELIEN is in line with the third specific objective of the programme, which is to promote employment in the Upper Rhine cross-border area.
The RELIEN project, which started on 1 September 2020, is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for three years. The INTERREG programme operates on the principle of reimbursement of expenses. RELIEN does not benefit from a global budgetary envelope: the universities incur the expenses related to the implementation of the project and are then reimbursed up to 50%.
RELIEN also receives funding from the Universities of Strasbourg, Koblenz-Landau, Haute-Alsace and Basel, the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS), the Canton of Basel-Stadt (NPR/CTE), the Cantonal Integration Programme in Switzerland as well as the Intercantonal Coordination Service at the Regio-Basiliensis (IKRB).
