Digital tools for rural development planning

The webinar “Digital tools for rural development planning” organised by the Latvian partners of the PoliRural project will take place on 30 September from 11:00 to 14:00. The objective of the event is to inform about the results of the project and to outline the use of the practical digital tools used in the project for the evaluation and planning of regional development.

Planning tools have been developed in an international team, with nearly 40 European organisations and businesses applying a wide range of cross-sectoral knowledge and skills. Four organisations from Latvia, the Institute for Agro-Resources and Economics,Baltic Open Solutions Center (Bosc), Vidzeme Planning Region and the Latvian Rural Forum have also been involved in the development of the tools.

The agenda of the seminar is available here. A link to join the event will be sent to all registered participants.

Please register for the seminar by 25 September here. 

PoliRural is a research and innovation project designed to advance rural policy development in the age of disruptive data and technologies in order to deliver a trusted, scalable and transferable solution for policy co-creation. It brings together decision makers, experts and rural inhabitants using advanced policy simulation tools to better understand and tackle regional challenges, ultimately making rural areas and professions more attractive and liveable for established populations and recent or potential newcomers.

Further information will be provided by Armands Pužulis, PoliRural Project Manager and AREI researcher armands.puzulis@arei.lv
