A recent ENRD workshop (30 November 2017 – Brussels, Belgium) gathered 35 LEADER experts and practitioners to explore ‘risk averse’ and ‘opportunity seeking’ attitudes towards local innovation.

Discussions focused on the proportionality of regulatory requirements, improved provision of information, the ‘innovation facilitation’ role of Local Action Groups, and enhanced coordination along the entire LEADER delivery chain. The ENRD Contact Point will continue to enable exchange and collect information on the topic. Look out for our new web page on LEADER innovation due in January 2018.
