NORDIC-SCOTTISH CONFERENCE
RURAL DEVELOPMENT - LEARNING ACROSS THE NORTH
To be held in Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands,
on Monday May 27 and Tuesday May 28, 2002
You are invited to attend a special conference being held in the
Scottish Highlands. The aim of the conference is to share good
practice in rural development and to strengthen rural research
networks across the Nordic-Scottish countries.
The conference will bring together those involved in rural
development research, policy and practice, from the Nordic
countries and Scotland. It will provide a forum to enable
co-operation and exchange of ideas on rural development, in line
with the recently launched Nordic-Scottish Action Plan. It will
also provide an opportunity to develop proposals for future
Scottish-Nordic research projects which help to identify and share
good practice in the field of rural development.
The conference will focus around five key themes:
· Local governance and empowerment of rural communities
· Communications and community involvement
· Innovation in rural services
· Wider use of the countryside
· Developing the rural economy and building on natural
assets
On the second day of the conference, Tuesday May 28, there will be
an important opportunity for those interested in developing
research proposals on the five key themes, to meet and develop
their ideas. The intention will be to prepare trans-national
proposals for each theme, for submission to relevant funding
programmes, including Interreg. Each theme will have a
co-ordinator, who will work with interested parties prior to and
during the conference.
The conference is organised by The Arkleton Centre for Rural
Development Research, University of Aberdeen, as part of their
Nordic-Scottish Rural Transfer Network.
It is supported by The Scottish Executive, The Forestry
Commission, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and The Highland
Council. The partners include The Scottish Council for Voluntary
Organisations and The University of the Highlands and Islands
Millennium Institute.
The conference programme, booking form, accommodation and travel
options are available on the Arkleton website:
www.abdn.ac.uk/arkleton, or from the conference organiser.
