ICT and Rural Areas Building the Knowledge Society at Grassroots Level

28/01/2011

The European Network for Rural Development (EN RD) is organising an event - " ICT and rural areas: building the knowledge society at grassroots level " on 10 February, 2011, in Brussels.

The objectives of the seminar are:

• Review of current ICT needs of agriculture, the food industry and rural areas, including issues relating to the new Digital Agenda for Europe and the EU Broadband Strategy;
• To contribute to the implementation of current rural development policy, through the sharing of programme implementation experiences, as regards ICT, for agriculture, the food industry and rural areas, as well as the sharing of good practice regarding ICT and projects in rural areas;
• To draw together ideas for future rural development policy as regards the "post-2013" discussions.

Some 250 participants are expected to take part in the event, including Managing Authorities, National Rural Networks (NRNs), European organisations, agricultural and food industry associations and other ICT-stakeholders.

More information is available on the UK National Rural Network website.
