European Rural Development and Empowered Leaders

Short description of the project:

The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence ERUDEL2040 is dedicated to testing innovative educational and research approach and related materials as a mechanism for improving implementation of the long-term vision for the EU’s rural areas (2021) and European Parliament’s Resolution on a long-term vision for the EU’s rural areas (2022) and improving its global impact.

ERUDEL2040 enhances awareness of the EU and its rural development policy in the general public at large, facilitate future engagement and people-to-people dialogue and, in the long run, contribute to core EU values, particularly to the higher levels of political participation, transparency, responsibility, deliberation and others.

ERUDEL2040 engages a variety of target groups in its activities, i.e. academia, students, researchers, professionals (mayors, civil servants), state and local level policymakers and policy officers, local media, businesses, civil society, and general public at large.

Project is co-funded by the European Union.
