Final results of the survey on the future of the Programme. Every opinion matters!

10.09.2026

Thank you for your votes on the future thematic areas of cross-border cooperation under the Interreg Poland – Ukraine 2028-2034 perspective.

We have received 158 responses!

Ahead of the second meeting of the Working Group on the preparation of the new Programme, we received valuable input that will help us further refine the scope of future actions.

The vote delivered an extraordinary outcome: a perfectly balanced 50/50 split between Poland and Ukraine, with each contributing exactly 79 votes for a total of 158 submissions.

The balanced contribution of both countries helps us develop a more objective view of the priorities across the Programme area.

We are glad to see the high level of involvement of stakeholders without previous EU project experience, who account for 36% of the total voting audience and demonstrate strong potential for future cooperation.

To identify the most important thematic areas, we considered not only the number of votes received by each topic (Popularity), but also the priority assigned to the topics by respondents when selecting them. For this purpose, an Actuality score was introduced, ranging from 5 points for areas identified as the highest priority to 1 point for areas of lower priority.

The thematic areas with the highest combined Popularity and Actuality scores were identified as the overall top priorities.

For the entire Programme area, the ratings are as follows:

The country-specific ratings provide more detailed insight into the preferences of respondents in Poland and Ukraine.

Thanks to your valuable contribution to this survey we have a closer look and better understanding of the needs and priorities of the entire Programme area and specific regions. It will help us to better shape the new perspective.

We are grateful for your engagement and look forward to further cooperation.

Your opinion truly matters!
