Rural development models in Europe (RuMODeS)

This European research project will employ a coherent conceptual and empirical approach to capturing the rural development models throughout the ESPON space. It will develop territorial analyses highlighting drivers and dynamics of rural trajectories and will scrutinise the current national and regional policy approaches and implementation practices proven effective at sustaining the thriving rural communities. The project will come up with targeted policy recommendations to boost the design and implementation of post-2027 rural development strategies.
