A new EU-funded pilot project is working between December 2017 and April 2019 to map out challenges and opportunities in rural areas, provide a definition of ‘smart villages’, and identify good practice examples and case studies on the topic.
In exploring strategies and approaches to a village becoming ‘smart’, the project is looking to collect insights into innovative ways of addressing rural challenges.
