Vital Rural Area

Programme 2007 - 2013 North Sea Region

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

The project will consider three themes connected to rural development; lack of economic development and innovations, negative or insufficient exposure of regions and downsizing in level of services and amenities. Using a co-operative agreement approach the project partners will work together on a number of pilot initiatives to consider these issues in a transnational setting. The partnership will be supported by a scientific support group, made up of universities and a national authority. The end result of the project will be a Rural Power Pack, which will be disseminated and communicated at EU level and to other European Regions.
