30 November, 2022(3 events)All day: EIP-AGRI workshop "Young entrepreneurs - Engines of innovation in rural areas" (30 Nov-1 December 2022) All day 
The EIP-AGRI workshop ‘Young entrepreneurs – Engines of innovation in rural areas’ will take place in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday 30 November and Thursday 1 December 2022. The workshop will focus on exchanging knowledge and sharing innovative, inspirational practices that can support young entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems in rural areas. Event description and objectivesRural shrinkage, due to ageing populations and rural out-migration of young people, is on the rise in the EU. Currently, about 30% of the EU’s population lives in rural areas (even less in remote areas) but this share is expected to keep decreasing in coming decades. Depopulated rural regions often provide lower incomes and fewer job opportunities. Furthermore, the out-migration of younger, skilled workers results in ageing populations, which hinders generational renewal and the development of rural entrepreneurship and business opportunity. As highlighted in the Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas of the European Commission, the impact of these negative demographic trends can hamper the change towards development, opportunity and a more sustainable future of rural areas. Even though rural areas provide significant resources and services, both tangible and intangible (such as natural capital, environmental services, quality of life, culture, tradition and know-how), these are often undervalued, poorly understood and unexplored. Considering all these factors, this workshop will look into existing instruments and opportunities within the EU Common Agriculture Policy (CAP), and within the Research and Innovation programme Horizon Europe (HE), to support and promote young innovators/entrepreneurs and start-ups in rural communities. The event will help to provide and implement new solutions in rural areas, generating increased interest and employment opportunities, and enriching the quality of life in these areas. Overall aimThe overall aim of the workshop is to support young entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems and their actors in rural areas. This will be done by showcasing good practices from EIP-AGRI Operational Groups, Horizon projects and other EU-funded programmes, and by highlighting leadership examples from local communities, and innovators in rural communities. This will demonstrate that rural areas and communities can be an attractive place for internal and external innovators and start-ups, for developing sustainable processes of economic, social, and territorial development. These can be based not only on more innovative and integrated land management practices and diversification of rural businesses, but also as a source of talent and innovators. In relation to this, young people are generally more keen to embrace innovations in different sectors. They can be considered front-runners in strengthening the innovation ecosystems in rural areas, and can contribute to tackling some of the challenges posed by the demographic decline. In addition, this can contribute to a more positive and inclusive image of rural areas, making them more attractive, stimulating rural economies and creating new opportunities as envisaged by the Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas. The concept of an enabling environment for entrepreneurship needs a broader, holistic approach. It should show the diversified sources with infrastructure, supported by various public development funds as well as private funds. Cultural contexts change. Therefore, capacity building for innovation in rural areas should be considered a long-term strategy, not only for farming but also for other businesses with orientation of funds that add value for motivating young entrepreneurs that are settling in rural areas. Specific objectives
Target groupThe workshop will focus on good practices of young innovative entrepreneurial initiatives, in different stages of development, in EU rural areas. This will include but will not be limited to farming, forestry and environmental productions and services.
Other participants will include advisors, researchers, representatives from start-ups and other associations, chambers of agriculture, industry, processors, other public and managing entities/bodies, local authorities, and press. Local All day: RURALIZATION SPANISH NATIONAL CONFERENCE: The CAP’s potential to promote generational renewal in rural areas All day 
The CAP’s potential to promote generational renewal in rural areas Date: 30 November 2022 Venue: Online via Zoom Event Description: This second Spanish National Conference was co-organised between Consulta Europa (CE) and the Xarxa per a la conservació de la Natura (XCN). The event was organised online in order to involve stakeholders from different provinces and areas of Spain. Michelle Perello (CE) introduced the RURALIZATION project and its latest results. Nora Maristany and Ana Macho (XCN) presented their assessment of the Spanish CAP strategic policies according to its ability to promote generational renewal in rural areas. Finally, there was a round table to discuss the assessment, give feedback but also debate about what measures should be included in the CAP strategic plans in order to genuinely promote generational renewal in rural areas Online All day: THE POTENTIAL OF THE CAP FOR GENERATIONAL RENEWAL IN RURAL AREAS All day 
On 30 November, 2022 Consulta Europa and XCN held the National Conference in the framework of RURALIZATION project. The aim of this conference was to propose and share suggestions for the improvement of the national strategic plans of the CAP in order to promote generational renewal in rural areas and, in general, to support the new generations. The RURALIZATION project explores rural areas as a context for economic activities and within this is seeking to understand the new frontiers of regenerative rural development where rural areas possess opportunities for economic and social sustainability for new generations. The new common agricultural policy analysed the factors favouring the development and revitalisation of rural areas in Europe, as well as the identification of good practices focused on favouring access to land and new economic and social opportunities for young people. We need to better understand the key levers to support improved rural generational renewal and regeneration, as well as the barriers inhibiting this process. Online |

Regeneration of rural areas in the context of domestic and EU policies of agriculture and rural developmentDate: 9 December 2022 Venue: Online Event Description: This National Conference, organised by the University of Warsaw (UWR), was divided into two parts. In the first part three projects were presented: the Polish project Revival of Villages? New Socio-Economic Processes in the Kłodzko Region, and two H2020 projects, SHERPA- Sustainable Hub to Engage into Rural Policies with Actors, and DESIRA – Digitisation: Economic and Social Impacts on Rural Areas. After the presentation, there was a discussion of the results in the context of rural regeneration. In the second part, the UWR team presented the results of their assessment of the Polish CAP plan as an input to a workshop devoted to the co-creation of improvements in the Polish plan and, to some extent, in the EU framework for CAP plans. The discussion was very fruitful and a number of suggestions and viewpoints related to CAP plans were shared. Online 9:00 am: 2nd International Agriculture Conference9:00 am – 10:00 am 
Ecosystem level conservation, plant genomics, farm management, artificial intelligence in farming – these are just a few examples of topics that the international agriculture conference will cover.

13 Dezember, 2022(2 events)All day: RURALIZATION FINNISH NATIONAL CONFERENCE: Regeneration of rural areas in the context of domestic and EU policies of agriculture and rural development All day 
Regeneration of rural areas in the context of domestic and EU policies of agriculture and rural developmentDate: 13 December 2022 Venue: Online Event Description: This webinar was organised together by the RURALIZATION project partner University of Turku (UTU) and the National Rural Network. The purpose of the conference was to present results and insights of the RURALIZATION project for the people involved in rural development in any level of action (household, local, regional, national). The webinar was opened by the Secretary General of the Rural Policy Council with insights for rural regeneration. Some promising insights of the RURALIZATION project were provided and some project partners were also invited to introduce two case studies: Grow Remote (University of Galway) and Casa delle AgriCulture (University of Calabria). Project partner Kulturland also participated as an access to land organisation. Online 6:30 pm: RURALIZATION ENGLISH NATIONAL CONFERENCE: How can we create thriving places for all?6:30 pm – 8:00 pm 
How can we create thriving places for all? Date: 13 December 2022 Venue: Online via Zoom Event Description: This event was aimed at bringing people together who were interested in creating / living / working in a rural setting, and holding discussions on ideas that can overcome challenges rural areas face. The idea was also to bring some of the findings and context of the RURALIZATION project into the event, and allow the room to explore ideas of "ruralization" themselves. Participants engaged with discussion in breakout rooms, choosing to debate about Housing and Transport, and Agroecology. After 25 minutes of discussion within the rooms, the groups were brought back for a full discussion to detect what main ideas came up. The aim of this full group discussion was to listen to and capture the important issues to those in the room, and how they believe such issues could be overcome. Local |

15 Dezember, 2022(1 event)12:15 pm: The rural regeneration process12:15 pm – 1:15 pm 
Regeneration is a potentially powerful approach to dealing with rural decline leading to rural revitalisation and potentially transformation. This seminar aims to open renewed discussion and examination of what is rural regeneration and how the process works. For example, how important are catalysts to rural regeneration? Is the process more effectively understood as a spiral where one positive effect leads to an upward chain of renewal? This perspective draws on the conceptual guidelines underpinning the RURALIZATION Horizon 2020 project. The discussion will also be illustrated by exploring different perspectives on ‘new generations’ and their role in rural regeneration. As depopulation and ageing are issues in many rural areas, the new generations perspective is an important lens to question the rural regeneration concept and how it plays out as a process. New generations can be understood as young people, but also more broadly newcomers to rural areas of any age. Examples will include the findings of foresight research with young people in Ireland and also a case study of remote working newcomers in the west of Ireland. The empirical research also emerges from the University of Galway Rural Studies Centre’s work on the RURALIZATION project. The RURALIZATION project explores rural areas as a context for economic activities and within this is seeking to understand the new frontiers of regenerative rural development where rural areas possess opportunities for economic and social sustainability for new generations. Commencing in 2019 and finishing in 2023, RURALZATION brings together 18 organisations across 12 European countries. Find out more about RURALIZATION here: https://ruralization.eu/ Dr Aisling Murtagh is a Postdoctoral Researcher with the RURALIZATION project at the Rural Studies Centre, Discipline of Geography, University of Galway. Her current research examines the issues of rural regeneration and generational renewal. She has worked on a number of rural development related national and European research projects in areas including creative industries, short food supply chains and food cooperatives. She also worked with the National Rural Network as Research and Development Officer where her work particularly focused on the LEADER programme. Online |
