Project: Liveable Rural Communities of the Future - New Integrated governance model to address depopulation of rural areas
Project Acronym: RurALL
Interreg Programme Danube Region Co-funded be the European Commission

Period of implementation: 01.2024 – 06.2026

RurALL addresses the major challenge of depopulation in rural areas that is considered as one of most universal challenges of Danube area. Consequently, rural areas are facing lack of highly educated labour force and economic competitiveness, increasing ageing population, low accessibility and reducing quality of public services. Rural communities have insufficient resources and capacities to design and initiate an effective policy response for such a comprehensive challenge therefore we are going to develop a multi-stakeholder governance model. 
The project is focused on implementation of a crosssectoral and interdisciplinary approach supported by intense community engagement activities and present deteriorating dwellings as a tool and potential for addressing the challenge.
