This ENRD workshop focused on the topics of Transnational Cooperation (TNC) and LEADER Innovation and explored the use of the practitioner-led approach as a networking and capacity-building tool.
The workshop was intended for members of the two dedicated ENRD Practitioner-led Working Groups (PWGs) who explored the two topics, discussed relevant implementation barriers and ways of overcoming them. This included a consideration of the following issues and actions:
- developing a catalogue of local innovation activities;
- application of simplified costs under LEADER;
- mapping of specific barriers to LEADER innovation;
- broadband and local innovation;
- evaluation of cooperation projects; and
- self-evaluation of Local Action Groups.
Based on the proposals collected, PWG members agreed that the ENRD Contact Point will make use of online tools to continue discussions of the above issues, exchange relevant experience, and contribute to the preparation of relevant thematic events.
