Dear rural pact community,

We have a lot to share with you at the moment! :)

After the January newsletter and the UX survey on the rural pact and rural revitalisation platforms, we now come back to you with news on:

- the two new thematic groups launched by the EU CAP network, contributing to the "prosperous" part of the Rural action plan (see more below and apply by 13 and 21 February);

- the Startup Village Forum, to take place on 28 February.  Register by 20 February;

- the upcoming Rural Pact Conference in Sweden, “Acting for rural areas: sharing rural pact experiences and learning for the future”.

This Swedish Rural Pact conference, co-organised by the Government Offices of Sweden and the European Commission, will take place in Uppsala, Ultuna, on 3 and 4 May 2023. You will find more information online and in the attached document. Mark your calendar!

Looking forward to meeting you there,

The rural vision team
