EU Rural Cooperation Fair

The Scottish National Rural Network with the support of the European Network for Rural Development is organizing the "EU Rural Cooperation Fair" which is set to take place on the 23rd and 24th of September 2010 in Edinburgh-Scotland.

The aim of the fair is to support international cooperation as a means to achieving local development plans. There will be many excellent opportunities for people from across rural Scotland and Europe to get together and share good ideas and experiences to do with economic and community development in rural areas.

Starting with a keynote speech from the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Richard Lochhead various speakers from across Europe including the President of ELARD, Mr. Panagiotis Patras, will set the scene. There will be opportunities in smaller workshops to discuss themes such as the environment, tourism, culture, community development, and social and economic development.
