Resilient Borders – ‘Cross-Border Spatial Planning and Crisis Management Pilot Actions’ is an initiative aimed at enhancing cross-border governance through cohesive territorial development and resilience.
Now successfully closed, the project offered financial support to actors in border regions to develop pilot actions setting up joint cross-border spatial planning and crisis management action plans.
Support was distributed through a dedicated call for proposals.
19 pilot actions were developed and a policy publication and compendium of the action’s cases was published in 2026.
Resilient Borders was managed jointly by the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) and the Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière (MOT).
Promoted by the European Commission, Resilient Borders is one of the actions initiated in the framework of the European Parliament’s pilot project ‘Cross/Border Crisis Response Integrated Initiative’ (CB-CRII).
Duration: From January 2024 to December 2025
AEBR role in Resilient Borders: holder of a Commission’s grant (DG Regio); manager of this initiative, together with Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière (MOT)
Responsible persons in AEBR: Martín Guillermo Ramírez, Mariane Bloudeau.
