RURAL HORIZON 2020

The projects presented on this page are funded by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme of the European Union, under the following topics:

• RUR-01-2018-2019 Building modern rural policies on long-term visions and societal engagement as is the case for SHERPA, Ruralization, Polirural and MOVING; and
• RUR-02-2018 - Socio-economic impacts of digitisation of agriculture and rural areas, as is the case for DESIRA.

Together with SHERPA, the four projects form the RUR 1-2 cluster, namely the Rural Horizon 2020. The aim of the cluster is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between the projects, building on each other’s activities and boosting the communication and dissemination of outcomes, contributing to future rural policies.

The SHERPA repository is a compilation of research outputs and findings from past and ongoing projects related to rural areas.

It enables searches for outputs, findings and recommendations from research projects on topics relevant to rural areas of Europe.

It provides outputs of analysis of projects by topics and keywords, funding and research programmes. The Repository also provides access to the sets of SHERPA Discussion and Position Papers on selected rural topics.
