'Rural development and globalisation in Europe', Brussels, Belgium
31 March 2011 - 31 March 2011
Belgium
A seminar on 'Rural development and globalisation in Europe' will be held on 31 March 2011 in Brussels, Belgium.
The event will present and discuss emerging findings, policy recommendations and good practice examples from the EU-funded 'Developing Europe's rural regions in the era of globalisation' (Derreg) project. Presentations and discussion will focus on:
- an overview of globalisation challenges and opportunities for rural Europe;
- rural small to medium-sized enterprises and transnational business networks;
- international migration to rural regions;
- sustainable development in international context;
- rural learning regions.
The Derreg project looks at the key challenges facing rural regions in Europe, bringing significant social, economic, cultural and political changes. The absence of an overarching integrative analysis has been an obstacle limiting effective regional development strategies to cope with these challenges. To combat this, the project aims to produce an interpretative model that will enable researchers and regional development actors to better anticipate and respond to the key challenges posed by globalization for rural regions.For further information, please visit: http://www.derreg.eu/news_events.htm(opens in new window)
