THE cross-channel Resource centre

The Cross-Channel Resource Centre aims to:

  • Develop the knowledge of stakeholders and organisations of the Channel area in order to strengthen reciprocal understanding and encourage the development of Franco-British co-operation;
  • Improve knowledge of projects with a view to capitalisation;
  • Make known all the approaches aiming to develop knowledge of the area: atlas, observatories, research, etc.
  • Make accessible data and analyses on the Channel area, and facilitate the search for information.

Stakeholder database

The objective of this database is to help French and British stakeholders in their search of partners in the other country to develop new co-operation projects. For this purpose it identifies the main fields of activity and expertise of each listed organisation.

Stakeholders listed in this database are mainly marine and coastal organisations as well as organisations in the field of research and innovation.

NB: this database has been removed because it was no longer updated.

Project database

The purpose of this database is to gain better knowledge of projects that relate to the Channel area with the aim of building on these, achieving greater complementarity, and identifying new areas of co-operation.

Main features of projects contained in this database:

  • They are already achieved or being currently implemented ;
  • They (have) received financial support from INTERREG programmes or other funding strands ;
  • They deal at least with one of the five CAMIS priorities: knowledge about the Channel area, workforce development, innovation and clusters, maritime safety, transport. Particular attention is paid to projects addressing coastal and maritime issues.


Atlas & observatories database

This database gathers atlases and observatories which provide information, analyses, maps and data about the Channel area, either specifically to this area, or broadly at the French or British national scale or even at a European scale.

These are marine and coastal atlases and observatories but also atlases and observatories on territorial dynamics within the regions.
