The annual LINC seminar gathers together people interested in rural development to different parts of Europe to exchange ideas with each other, with a little bit of sport on the side.
The LINC organisation welcomes rural developers such as members of LEADER groups/associations, LEADER board members, administrative authorities, project staff and everyone who is interested in rural development.
Rural.fi is a website for rural Finland, set up as part of the Rural Development Programme for Mainland Finland to serve as a portal for rural issues.
The site features key figures and organisations working in rural development. It also provides an insight into rural development in Europe’s most northerly agricultural country, by looking at life in Finland’s vibrant and beautiful rural regions.
