5th and last Iq-Train CoReG (Common Reflection Group)
| Since Iq-Train will be finished in December 07 this will be the last Iq-Train workshop!
This is a good reason to reflect and assess the results and impacts of the project Iq-Train – and we will find an inspiring, creative and humorous way to do this.
We will also bring the last Iq-Train products, the “Handbook for project-holders” and the “Result Report”-brochure, on their way to the customers and stakeholders.
And – last but not least – we will sharpen the picture of what can/will be done in the spirit of this excellent network of sharing experiences and improve competencies of INTERREG / ETC actors after the finalisation of Iq-Train.
Registration is possible until 05 October 2007.

Final account - summarizing the Iq-Train FLC-workshop series and preparing for the new period
| The first part of this 7th and final Iq-Train workshop on FLC will focus on the current discussion about eligibility rules within the new bilateral programmes.
The second part will provide the opportunity to continue the exchange about experiences with controls (2nd level control, court of auditors or others) which was started during the last workshop in March.
And last but not least, we will look back at the 3 ½ years of Iq-Train FLC-Workshops and talk about ways to continue the networking of controllers.
The main target group for this workshop are controllers (“FLC”) for the new ETC-programmes from Iq-Train-member- and neighbouring regions. Representatives of Managing Authorities and Regional Bodies involved in ETC-programmes are welcome as well.
Please note that - unlike previously announced - this workshop is organised as a one-day workshop on 04 October only.

4th CoReG (Common Reflection Group)-meeting
| Following the Iq-Train workshop “Key topics in the world of projects” which is organised at the same location on the previous day, this 4th CoReG –meeting mainly is dedicated to the “Iq-Train handbook for project-holders”.

Key topics in the world of projects
| The new ETC programmes will start soon - probably in autumn 2007. First PR activities to inform regional actors and potential project holders have already been organised.
This upcoming Iq-Train workshop is dedicated to check the capability of the pre-operational work from the viewpoint of the projects. The following questions shall be tackled:
- What are the (new) key topics in the world of projects?
- Have we foreseen appropriate and practicable ways to deal with them?
- Is enough transparency and clarity for project holders assured?
- What can be done to improve quality and customer orientation, if there are shortcomings and problems conceivable?
Project-cycle and Lead Partner-criteria will serve as the guideline for the discussion.
Target group are all organisations/institutions involved in programming, programme-management and project-consultancy within ETC-programmes 2007-1013 like Managing Authorities, Regional Bodies, Regional Managements, Euregios and similar organisations.
Registration is possible until 30 May 2007.

3rd CoReG (Common Programming Reflection Group) - Effective Management of Programmes: tasks and roles of different bodies
| After having successfully drafted and submitted the Operational Programmes another big challenge has to be met: Defining of and agreeing on sound and balanced structures enabling the programmes to become real drivers of cross border cooperation.
Every bilateral programme has to find its own appropriate solution; therefore this CoReG-meeting will not focus on a joint way to do this.
But it should generate value added for all participants by sharing ideas, views and experiences on questions like
- How could the coordination between different Managing Authorities (MAs) work?
- Should a network of Regional Bodies (RBs)be set up?
- How could the information flow between MAs and RBs be organised?
Other topics to be discussed could be the eligibility rules and - as always – all questions that will be brought in by participants.
Main target-groups of this meeting are all Managing Authorities of new bilateral Territorial Cooperation-programmes at the Austrian borders as well as representatives of all Regional Bodies of the respective regions.

New period - old problems? - - building the foundation for controlling in the new structural funds period 2007-2013
| The 6th workshop on First level control within Iq-Train is designed to connect the old and the new structural funds period. While most of the controllers are still busy with FLC of “old” INTERREG-projects, the operational programmes for the new objective European Territorial Cooperation are being finalised and the new structures are being developed and implemented.
The aim of this workshop is twofold:
- Exchange of knowledge (especially on experiences with audits from different levels) and possible input from controllers for current topics
- Feedback on the “Iq-Train Handbook for project-holders” – a tool which is currently being developed by Iq-Train, where an input from the controllers point of view would be welcome
The main target group for this workshop are controllers (“FLC”) for the new ETC-programmes from member- and neighbouring regions. Representatives of Managing Authorities and Regional Bodies involved in ETC-programmes are welcome as well.
Registration for this workshop is possible until 20 March.

The future of Small project funds in territorial cooperation 2007 - 2013
| Territorial cooperation within the new programming period 2007–2013 will bring about new conditions for project-holders. Both large and small projects will face the same requirements (lead partnerprinciple, joint financing, etc.) and will be evaluated on the basis of the same criteria. Especially project-holders of small projects will be challenged by this framework. Possible approaches for simplified conditions for small projects in particular should therefore be considered by now.
Hence the projects „SPF-net“ and „Iq-Train“ jointly invite you to this workshop on the future of Small project funds (SPF) within territorial cooperation 2007-2013.
Target groups are representatives from Regional Managements, Euregios and Government Offices of the Austrian regions Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Burgenland, Vienna, Styria and Carinthia as well as representatives from the respective partner-organisations from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary
and Slovenia.
"KPF-net" is a project of the Regional Management of Lower Austria (contact: Bureau Industrieviertel, www.industrieviertel.at).

“INVOICES, RECEIPTS, PAYMENT CONFIRMATION - the world of first level control within INTERREG IIIA, B and C
| The IQ-Train/ings-module “First Level Control” focuses on all actors within the framework of INTERREG IIIA, IIIB and IIIC-projects who are responsible for the controlling of the expenditure. Since there are often only one or two controllers in every region (especially those responsible for IIIB and IIIC-projects), an exchange of practical knowledge and experience is needed. That way, transnational cooperation on project-level is going to lead to transnational cooperation on the level of controlling. The aim of the first workshop in this module is the development of a common understanding of the needs and problems that controllers have. The workshop will be practice-oriented. Participants are invited to bring concrete questions and/or examples from their work.
