Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen
The European territorial cooperation program Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen is part of a drive to promote cross-border exchanges between the Hauts-de-France and Grand Est Regions, Wallonia, West and East Flanders.
For the period 2021 - 2027, a budget of 268 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) will be allocated to the program to support projects responding to the 5 cooperation themes: Research & Innovation, Climate & Environment, Mobility, Social Cohesion and Governance.
Projects coordinated and funded by Interreg VI FWV at the University of Liège
- BIOCONTROL 4.0 PORTFOLIO coordinated by ULiège - Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech
BIOCONTROL 4.0 focuses on innovative biocontrol solutions for sustainable agriculture, and more specifically on the development of :
- new biofungicides or control strategies directed against plant diseases caused by fungi (Trans-Lipo and Trans-Pathoflax 2.0)
- new biocontrol products designed to reduce the number of insects predating crops (Trans-Pest) and,
- digital tools (sensors, robots and decision-support tools) to support the development and use of biocontrol products (Trans-e-Bio). It also aims to integrate these tools by demonstrating their effectiveness in greenhouse or field experiments (Trans-Control), and in training courses aimed primarily at developers, producers, sellers and users of these products (Trans-Training).

Renaturation of the Urbanized Territories of the Hennuyer Basin. The project aims to initiate the ecological restoration of the Hennuyer basin, a cross-border territory shaped by the alluvial plains of the Haine and Escaut rivers, between Mons-Borinage and Valenciennes Métropole. The partners will implement a renaturation plan for wetlands altered by anthropization, based on co-construction with local stakeholders and experiments carried out in areas of economic and industrial activity. |
