The final webinar will take place on Tuesday the 5th of April, at 11:00 CET. The topic of this event is “Rural territories: common dilemmas, different approaches”. The participating territories are Trondelag (TeRRItoria), Värmland (DigiTeRRI), and Nord-Est (TeRRItoria). Speakers representing their territories will discuss how the concepts of rural depopulation and brain-drain, as a result of current regional innovation policies, are practically manifested in a unique way in each territory, and what societal dilemmas arise.
Moreover, speakers will openly exchange good practices of how their territories adopt and apply key elements of RRI (governance, gender equality, public engagement, ethics, open access, science education) to overcome these dilemmas and propel responsible growth and innovation in rural areas, especially through the avenue of responsible digitalisation.
The sessions will be organised as quick round-tables of peer-exchange on knowledge and local experience, with a view to strengthen the bonds between remoted European territories, facilitate the flow of knowledge, and open new policy pathways to confront pressure challenges.
