The Horizon 2020 project SHERPA - Sustainable Hub to Engage into Rural Policies with Actors published a contribution to the development of a future vision for rural areas.
The paper's key message can be summaries as follows: "European rural areas are attractive in their own right and, as a consequence of the high quality of life available, many such areas are appealing places to live, work and visit."
SHERPA aims to gather knowledge that contributes to the formulation of recommendations for future policies relevant to EU rural areas, by creating a science-society-policy interface which provides a hub for knowledge and policy.
