Congratulations to our AEIDL (European Association for Innovation in Local Development) colleagues for a successful webinar bringing together more than 100 participants to hear and reflect about the current EU policy landscape for sustainable rural development. Claudia de Luca presented RURACTIVE with specific focus on the role of social innovation and social capital for smart rural areas. #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

We build the foundations for supporting the inclusive growth of rural communities focusing on sustainability, wellbeing and resilience of rural communities. The topics of social justice & inclusion, climate change mitigation & adaptation as well as biodiversity cut across each of the solutions that will be developed during the project. Stay tuned for more details about these crucial aspects of RURACTIVE. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

Lack of access to #basicservices such as housing, healthcare, or e-governance in combination with ageing and depopulation, are key issues that inhibit the sustainable development of #rural areas. RURACTIVE aims to introduce innovations such as digital platforms for managing a wide range of services, or solutions for further increasing the provisioning of services. These can mitigate barriers to accessing care and improve quality of life and wellbeing of all rural inhabitants. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

#Culture is recognised to be a fundamental dimension of sustainable development both in urban and non-urban areas. #Rural areas are still far from being seen as cultural hubs and centers for creativity. Both tangible heritage and intangible heritage, represented by arts, festivals, music, artisan and crafts, dance and local traditions, are crucial assets for sustainable and inclusive innovation. RURACTIVE aims to invite the use of digital, technological and #socialinnovations that can make culture accessible to a wide range of groups including young people, women, migrants, old people, and people with disabilities, and improve the quality of life for all in rural areas. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

Attention has been put on #climate neutral strategies in cities. Rural areas are often neglected by climate action despite playing a crucial role in the #greentransition, including through the generation of renewable energy and facilitation or management of principal carbon sinks, such as soil and peat carbon or woodland expansion. In the #rural context, RURACTIVE supports the energy transition through the development of community-led solutions, including the creation of sustainable energy communities of prosumers*, protection of carbon sinks by investing in Nature-Based Solutions, development of farm biogas/biofuel, efficient renewable energy use through forecasting services, extending the uptake of smart grids and smart meters to empower prosumers, promoting behavioral awareness and change. *A prosumer is considered a person who consumes and produces value, either for self-consumption or consumption by others. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

With an increasing interest in #ruraltourism raised during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, #rural areas remain particularly suitable for nature-based and cultural tourism, responding to the willingness of travelers to learn about and experience the rural context. Nevertheless, rural communities still struggle to manage tourism in a sustainable and smart way and to align decision-making with local communities' needs and tourists' desires and expectations. RURACTIVE strives to tackle these challenges through the implementation of innovative solutions by provisioning services based on local resources that can be valued and organised to enhance tourism services. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

Although sustainable transport services are key for the connection and wellbeing of #rural inhabitants and for decarbonisation goals, sustainable rural mobility has so far received less attention than urban mobility. RURACTIVE aims to drive forward the planning and provisioning of #mobility services, such as demand‐responsive transport and shared mobility. The involvement of local stakeholders is key to answering site-specific challenges of rural areas and granting mobility solutions for all rural inhabitants. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

Rural agri-food systems and natural ecosystems are of primary importance for food production and ecosystem services. Yet, #rural areas are still facing challenges in achieving sustainable #agrifood transformations. RURACTIVE aims to introduce nature-based and digital solutions for the whole food supply chain (including food production, processing, distribution, consumption and resource re-cycling), as well as for agroecological practices that contribute to sustainable ecosystem management. This is crucial for maintaining ecosystem health and contribute to #socialwellbeing of all rural communities. Sustainable agri-food systems support building resilient communities by providing job opportunities and adequate livelihoods for all while supporting synergies with other Rural Development Drivers, such as nature-based and cultural tourism. 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation #HorizonEurope European Research Executive Agency (REA)

✨ RURACTIVE supports the just and sustainable transition of European #rural areas. Central to the RURACTIVE approach are the six Rural Development Drivers (RDDs) which help to embed and categorise solutions that are developed and implemented in the 12 rural communities of the Dynamos. Over the next weeks we will introduce you to the ins and outs of the project... 👉https://lnkd.in/eQ2P2iBa #ruralinnovation @HorizonEU @REA_research
