The Transfrontier Euro-Institute Network (TEIN), established in 2010, brings together partners from border regions in Europe. TEIN consists of universities, research institutes and training centres that are engaged in practical activities in cross-border cooperation in Europe.
TEIN is run by the Euro-Institute, established in 1993 in Kehl/Strasbourg on the French-German-Swiss border with the aim of facilitating cross-border cooperation. TEIN partners come from countries located in diverse cross-border areas: maritime, old European borders, new eastern borders, post-conflict borders and external borders. For this reason, TEIN is able to measure the demand for capacity building in cross-border cooperation across Europe.
