Objectives:
The structure of the project has been designed towards generating a positive impact on the target groups in each partner’s regional context (Lower Saxony – Germany, Sardinia – Italy, Patras – Greece, Brittany – France).
Many hundreds of rural stakeholders acquire the knowledge, skills, and, most importantly, confidence, to further develop digital innovation. Thus, the desired impact of this project is to nurture a new generation of digital pioneers all over rural Europe.

In the long term and at the EU level, we hope to achieve even more ambitious goals visible in such indicators as an increasing number of regions engaging in ‘smart’ strategies or a growing body of ‘smart’ projects successfully implemented. In other words, we strongly believe that rural Europe can come together as a Smart Region in mind and action.
