Joint Assistance to Support Projects in European Regions (JASPERS) helps cities and regions absorb European funds through top-quality projects. JASPERS offers free of charge assistance for local authorities and promoters for any stage of the project cycle from the early stages of project conception through to the final application for EU funding. Assistance may cover:
- Project review and recommendations
- Horizontal tasks
- Strategic support
- Capacity building
- Implementation support
- Independent quality review
JASPERS supports projects in the following 5 areas:
Energy and solid waste
Rail, Air and Maritime
Smart development
Roads
Water and wastewater
JASPERS focuses on large projects with total costs exceeding EUR 50 million for environmental projects and EUR 75 million for transport or other sectors. However, there is flexibility about these thresholds in the case of small countries or where projects serve as pilot actions to establish best practice.
To access JASPERS’ services public authorities should contact the Managing Authorities. These are in contact with the JASPERS Regional Offices or contact the different offices directly.
