NEWS:
Explore the main outcomes from a recent ENRD Conference on ‘Unlocking the Potential of the RDPs’.
The short ‘Conference Highlights’ report presents the areas of Rural Development policy identified as offering the greatest potential for rural areas and a set of specific activities to unlock that potential. As well as general reflections from participants on these questions, it also sets out what worked well and not so well across the EU during the RDP programming process for 2014-2020.
You can also read a more detailed event report.
EU Rural Review 21 addresses ‘Rural Responses to Challenges in Europe’. The publication highlights not only the relevance of EU Rural Development policy to wider societal challenges, but also the practical opportunities to deliver the greatest positive impact on the ground.
The publication focuses on responses to the challenges of limited rural broadband internet access, global climate change and the current refugee crisis. It goes on to explore some of the specific opportunities provided by new and developing EU policy tools: multi-funded CLLD; the European Fund for Strategic Investments; and the RDP Cooperation Measure (M16).
EU Rural Review 21 will be translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish. If you wish to subscribe to receive paper copies, please write to subscribe@enrd.eu specifying the quantity and language required.
