The "Resilient Borders - Cross-border Spatial Planning and Crisis Management project", coordinated by the MOT and the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) with the support of DG REGIO, supported nineteen pilot projects across thirteen European borders between 2024 and 2025. Its objective was to strengthen the resilience of border regions by improving cross-border cooperation in the fields of spatial planning and crisis management. The final publication brings together the lessons learnt from the pilot projects, identifies the main methodologies and best practices, and sets out recommendations for public decision-makers. It serves as a reference tool to foster more resilient cross-border cooperation and inspire new initiatives across Europe.

The workshops of the Borders Forum 2024 brought together stakeholders from various levels of cooperation - local, national and European - to exchange and propose concrete recommendations on ten key themes of cooperation; the objective: to resolve the cross-border «blockages» that affect the daily lives of local residents of cross-border living areas,and restore confidence in Europe by developing a sense of «cross-border” and «European» citizenship.
