• LEADER/CLLD events at Expo Milano Special NRNs’ Meeting, 24 September

A special National Rural Networks’ (NRNs’) Meeting on 24 September stressed the key role that NRNs have in supporting improved LEADER delivery. NRN attention is particularly needed on capacity building of LEADER Local Action Groups (LAGs), supporting transnational cooperation and to ensure learning is shared on how to effectively implement multi-funded LEADER/CLLD. See more information on the Milan NRNs meeting web page.

• LEADER/CLLD conference, 25 September

A conference on Strengthening Local Development through Cooperation highlighted the potential to support more transnational cooperation (TNC) involving LAGs in the new period – including with non-EU partners. The event stressed the need for greater harmonisation between Member States’ procedures and sharing information and ideas across Europe in real time. See several examples of transnational cooperation projects, key note presentations and the outcomes of workshops on the Milan LEADER Conference web page
