Rural Pact Conference in Sweden

What are the experiences so far and what can we learn from each other in order to take the next steps for a revitalised rural Europe? Some of the topics of the conference will be:

  • Best practices and examples on the implementation of the Rural Pact at national level.
  • Local Action Groups as Local Pacts.
  • Young people’s involvement and participation in the Rural Pact.

Meet up with colleagues from different Member States, politicians, researchers, and representatives of the EU institutions.

The event starts with study visits to rural businesses in Uppsala county on May 3, and continues with an interactive conference on May 4.

The conference is arranged in close dialogue with the Government Offices of Sweden and the European Commission.
