The ENRD Contact Point kicked off work on the topics of ‘Sustainable Management of Water and Soils’ and ‘Smart Villages’ with first meetings of dedicated Thematic Groups (TGs) on 24 October 2017 and 26 October 2017 respectively. 

The two TGs will exchange and provide recommendations on how the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) can be best used to support: 1) water and soil management and 2) rural services through digital and social innovation. Information on TG meetings and related outputs will be continuously uploaded on the corresponding web pages.
