Since October 2019, SHERPA has worked on formulating recommendations on key topics for the future of rural areas and it has also accompanied the development of the EU’s Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas. The SHERPA Final Conference will provide the final opportunity to look back at the work done and to identify, by using a co-creative participatory approach, the main SHERPA recommendations, as well as to reflect on lessons from the setup and implementation of Science-Society-Policy interfaces in rural areas.
