The EU Institutions are preparing for the next Multi Annual Financial Framework that will be tabled in July 2025. This builds from the Political Guidelines of the European Commission, themselves drawing ideas from the Letta and Draghi Reports, as well as the Long-Term Vision for Rural areas and the recent Vision for Agriculture and Food.
Τhe time is right to consider the role of community-led, social, technological and business innovations in creating vibrant rural areas. Building on this, the project will organise a Policy Webinar on ‘Smarter, Stronger and More Competitive Rural Areas: The Way Forward for EU policies.
