• Rural Networks’ Assembly meets again  

The second meeting of the European Rural Networks’ Assembly has taken stock of the implementation of European rural networking in 2015 and set out priority directions for 2016.

The 2nd Rural Networks’ Assembly took place in Brussels on Thursday, 26 November 2015. Workshops focused on how to activate rural networks to: contribute to smart and competitive rural areas; advance the green economy; and tackle key issues in RDP implementation. It included presentations and discussion of the main themes and activities organised by the ENRD Contact Point, EIP-AGRI Service Point and Evaluation Helpdesk.

The Assembly brings together representatives of the main rural development stakeholder groups to provide strategic direction, guidance and advice for the work of the ENRD and EIP-AGRI networks.
