The Interreg France-Switzerland VI 2021-2027 programme was officially launched at an event in Arc-et-Senans (Doubs) on 9 June 2022.
It will have required three years of preparatory work carried out with the French and Swiss partners of the cooperation territory, composed of 7 Swiss cantons (Bern, Fribourg, Geneva, Jura, Neuchâtel, Valais, Vaud) and 5 French departments (Doubs, Jura and Territoire de Belfort for the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, Ain and Haute-Savoie for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region). It is built around 5 priorities:
