A major rural development conference, run by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), will take place on 9-12 April 2018 in Edinburgh, UK.

The event will bring together a wide range of stakeholders to discuss better policies for rural regions and exchange on how to make the most of rural innovation opportunities for job creation, economic growth, and service delivery. It will build on the Cork 2.0 Declaration and the OECD’s New Rural Policy.

The ENRD Contact Point and the European Commission’s DG AGRI will actively participate in the event, running a series of pre-conference workshops.
