The €128 million Rural Renaissance call is about opportunities for sustainable rural growth, looked at through integrated approaches, cutting across sectors and taking a territorial perspective. It has the ambition to modernise policies and governance, and foster new business developments. The projects should boost innovation, advising and demonstration approaches in a spirit of co-creation and exchange of knowledge. To this end the call will invest in better decision-making, in new business models and in people, enhancing social and human capital through improved skills and innovation systems. With the solutions that will be created and shared through projects funded under Rural Renaissance, rural areas could have it all: more and better jobs, a better environment, and better social and territorial cohesion.
