Social innovation to promote rural growth across Europe and the Mediterranean

Scientists from across Europe and the wider Mediterranean area met at the James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, to mark the start of a 4-year project addressing some of the most important social challenges faced by rural areas. The Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas (SIMRA) project, supported with €5.5m from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme, aims to understand and enhance social innovation.

SEEDS-int is involved in the SIMRA project as part of a 26 partners consortium researching and implementing social innovation in marginalized rural areas.
