INTECMED ENI CBC Med

What INTECMED ENI CBC Med does

INTECMED ENI CBC Med is the operational brand of the ENI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme, an EU-funded cross-border cooperation programme established in 2014 under the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) and managed by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia (Regione Autonoma della Sardegna), Italy. It is not a commercial enterprise but a multilateral institutional grant programme that finances cooperation projects across 14 Mediterranean countries — covering 112 territories and approximately 198 million people — in thematic areas including sustainable tourism, technology transfer, social inclusion, and environmental protection. Its "product" is the grant itself, distributed through three primary funding instruments: Standard Projects Calls, Strategic Projects Calls (24-30 month duration), and Capitalisation Projects Calls, complemented by a Deliverables Library and a Project Partnership Finder database. The "customers" are project consortia composed of SMEs, universities and research centres, NGOs, social enterprises, and local/regional public administrations from both EU Member States (Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain) and Mediterranean Partner Countries (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Tunisia).

The programme operates with a €209 million EU contribution for the 2014-2020 programming period. Grants cover up to 90% of total eligible project costs and require a minimum 10% co-financing from project partners; the programme does not generate commercial revenue and functions as a pass-through funding mechanism. The underlying technology stack is administrative rather than proprietary: an online application portal (e-form system) for proposal submission and a Management Information System (MIS) for project reporting and monitoring. Distribution is conducted through a network of National Contact Points across all 14 participating countries, with marketing conducted via the institutional website (enicbcmed.eu), social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), the #MEDLINKS newsletter, and participation in events such as the Mediterranean Water Forum and Mediterranean Day celebrations. Institutional partnerships include the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM, flagship tier), the Autonomous Region of Sardinia as Managing Authority, EU Neighbours South, SwitchMed/MedWaves, and the European Forest Institute Mediterranean Facility.

In December 2023, the programme transitioned to its successor, Interreg NEXT MED, launching a dedicated new website (www.interregnextmed.eu) and a €100M+ call for proposals (deadline March 2024, 1pm CET) to address joint Mediterranean challenges. The original ENI CBC Med brand continues to publish results and deliverables while the mandate shifts to the new programming cycle. A zero-tolerance anti-fraud policy with fraud self-assessment groups is maintained across candidate selection, programme implementation, verification, authorisation, payments, and direct purchases.
