The ENRD Contact Point recently launched an online portal collecting projects, initiatives, and networks from across Europe exploring new and varied ways of revitalising rural services through digital and social innovation.

The portal contains information collected by the ENRD Thematic Group (TG) on ‘Smart Villages’ and will be continuously expanded to showcase the abundance of inspiring activities at the European, national and local levels. Are you involved in a good project on the topic? Share it with us.

The new portal was presented at the second TG meeting (7 December 2017) which focused on social innovation, exploring imaginative local solutions to deficiencies in rural services and ways of building a more favourable policy environment to enable such initiatives.
