With its annual Cross-Border Impact Assessments, ITEM provides more insight into the effects on cross-border regions of European and national legislative and policy initiatives.

Organised by nine members of TEIN, the TEIN4citizens project took place between 2019 and 2021. Five forums took place in different cross-border regions and brought together citizens, local, regional as well as EU level stakeholders, representatives of NGOs and experts from various border regions, in order to discuss five topics: EU citizenship & Human rights; Minorities & Integration; Civil Society Engagement; Multilingualism & Identity as well as Borders in Europe.
