European Projects and ProgrammesRegional development, innovation and international collaboration are all spearheads of European policy. The European Commission promotes this policy through the Structural Funds (ERDF, ESF) and several other programmes. As we are familiar with the ins and outs of programmes such as Interreg, the 7th framework programme, LIFE and Culture 2007, we can explicate the potential and the benefits of various European programmes for our clients. BUITEN has a substantial track record in assisting public authorities and other organisations to develop successful project proposals. Our extensive European network enables us to operate efficiently. Our European activities include: Development of projects

PORTICO Within the Interreg IVB-project
PORTICO, partners aim to redevelop inner-city locations that are
currently difficult or even impossible to develop because of their
archaeological value. PORTICO strives to take history and heritage
a competitive advantage, to stimulate future urban economic development.
The project partners (Cologne, Gent, Chester and Utrecht) will develop
and test archaeology-friendly building techniques and want to show
their past to the public in an innovative way. In Utrecht for instance,
a subterranean visitor centre and a virtual time machine will be
developed. On behalf of the city of Utrecht, BUITEN has assembled
partners form different countries and established the PORTICO partnership.
In assignment of and together with the partners, BUITEN has elaborated
the project proposal and has taken care of its –successful-
submission. |
