Regional funding

Interreg

Interreg is aimed at stimulating cooperation between regions inside and out of the European Union. There are a number of different programmes under the Interreg-umbrella, all funded by The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Here, we especially want to highlight Interreg Aurora, whose programme area covers all of the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish parts of Sápmi. Within the programme, there are funds allocated to Sámi language and cultural activities, as well as to research about and with the Sámis.

The research needs to contribute to increasing financial and physical safety in society. And the focus of the foundation lies on needs-driven research. This foundation is one part of Länsförsäkringar’s involvement in the Swedish civil society.
