SUMMARY:Empowering rural futures: the right to stay in rural areas
DESCRIPTION:This event is hybrid and in person – watch live on the link in the “details” section below.  \nWhat makes a rural community a good place to live\, work\, run a business\, start a family and grow old? What are the key strengths of rural areas? What can be done to help overcome the barriers facing people in rural areas e.g. transport\, housing\, digital connectivity\, lack of services and isolation? \nAs Europe faces mounting demographic and territorial imbalances\, the European Commission is advancing a transformative agenda to reaffirm the right to stay as a cornerstone of territorial cohesion and inclusive development. The upcoming EU Strategy on the “Right to Stay” will seek to ensure rural populations can envision viable futures in their communities\, supported by robust infrastructure\, services\, and economic opportunities. Central to this vision is also the Strategy for Generational Renewal in Agriculture\, unveiled in October 2025\, which aims to double the share of young farmers in the EU by 2040. \nThis conference will explore how these two strategic pillars—the right to stay and generational renewal—can be jointly leveraged to revitalize rural regions. It will highlight the need for multisectoral approaches. By aligning EU\, national\, and regional policies\, the session will showcase pathways to empower rural youth\, sustain farming traditions\, and foster innovation in Europe’s countryside.

SUMMARY:Brokerage event - 'Innovating for competitive\, resilient and sustainable agriculture and rural areas'
DESCRIPTION:The EU CAP Network brokerage event ‘Innovating for competitive\, resilient and sustainable agriculture and rural areas’ will take place in Warsaw\, Poland\, on 25 and 26 February 2026. A call for expression of interest was open until 10 December 2025\, 23:59 CET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, the EU CAP Network brokerage events have successfully supported the development of high-quality Horizon Europe proposals\, strengthened links between research\, practice and advisory services\, and created lasting collaborations across the EU. Building on this experience\, the 2026 edition will focus on networking and developing ideas around key priorities from the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 Work Programme for 2026\, focusing on topics that require a multi-actor approach. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to meet peers working on similar challenges\, present short teasers of their project ideas\, and explore partnerships for future collaboration. The event will also highlight additional European\, national and regional funding opportunities that can support innovation in agriculture\, forestry and rural areas. \n\nMore about the event on the link below.
