BSR INTERREG III B and PHARE CBC jointly arranged a first Partner Search Forum (PSF) in Riga at 25 October 2001. The PSF in Riga aims were to promote prospective partners to present ideas and to find partners for the coming period of transnational co-operation in spatial planning and regional development.

The BSR INTERREG III B and PHARE CBC partnership invited therefore interested project owners to meet potential partners and collect information on funding options for joint projects. Information was provided on the objectives of both, the new EU co-operation programme BSR INTERREG III B, and the new BSR PHARE Cross-Border-Programme.

The Forum was organised together with the 9th BSSSC conference "The Baltic Sea Region Becoming a Model Region for Europe". For more details please contact BSSSC Secretariat, e-mail: bsssc@bsssc.com, or look for online information at www.bsssc.com.

Project Ideas were presented at the Forum and included in the Project Idea Catalogue, prepared for the Forum participants.

The idea with the Project Idea Catalogue was to assist project owners in their search for project partners and to disseminate their project ideas. The Project Idea Catalogue was based on all Project Idea and Partner Search Forms submitted to the Joint Secretariat before the 5th October 2001. In the Catalogue the Project Idea and Partner Search Forms are sorted by the BSR INTERREG IIIB Community Initiative Programme's three Priorities. Some of the submitted Project Idea and Partner Search Forms have not been according to priority. In such cases the Joint Secretariat has tried to direct it to the most matching priority.
