Networking: putting rural areas of the European Union on-line

Support will be given to placing all rural areas, beneficiaries or otherwise of the initiative, as well as all organisations and administrations involved in these territorial actions, such as rural information centres, for instance, on-line, to promote the exchange and transfer of experiences but also with the aim of:

Encouraging and achieving co-operation between territories.

Informing and identifying lessons to be learnt from territorial rural development.

Active participation on the network will be mandatory for all beneficiaries of LEADER+.
Each Member State proposes measures aimed at creating the necessary structure to animate the network.
At European level an “observatory of rural territories” led by the Commission will ensure that the networks are set up in the European context (National Programme point 5.3).
