The output indicator RCO87 “Organisations cooperating across borders” counts the number of organisations formally cooperating in supported projects, i.e. the project partners and the associated partners participating in the project as foreseen in the application form. This indicator has to be selected by all projects. It should be included in the first work package but it should not be the only output selected for the work package. This indicator will be reached through the establishment of cooperation in the project (e.g. subsidy contract/partnership agreement signatures).

The related result indicator RCR84 “Organisations cooperating across borders after project completion” counts the organisations (i.e. project partners and associated organisations) that continue cooperating across borders after the completion of the supported project. The value for RCR84 should be equal to or less than the value of the corresponding output indicator RCO87. Cooperation with other stakeholders after the project end should be described in section C.8 “Long-term effects and durability” of the application form.
