RUSTIK, in collaboration with the Granular and Down to Earth projects, is pleased to announce a joint workshop taking place on October 9, 2025. This event will bring together a wide range of participants—from researchers and practitioners to local and regional policymakers—to explore collaborative approaches to rural sustainability and development.
The workshop responds to pressing, interconnected challenges faced in Galicia and many rural areas across Europe, including depopulation, land abandonment, and increased wildfire risks. These issues require systemic responses and a stronger integration between science, community actors, and governance structures.
