(21 September 2018) – Several members of AEIDL will participate in the “LEADER Reloaded” ELARD conference on 26-28 September in Evora, Portugal.

What is the present state of play of community-led local development (CLLD), and which future policies and tendencies will affect us and how, especially in the context of the new legislative proposals by the Commission and the financial framework for post-2020?
What are the strengths of multi-funded CLLD and how will local development benefit from that? How we can make it work well and simple? How can we more and better cooperate?
In this conference organised by the European LEADER Association for Rural Development (ELARD) the participants will be able to engage in a mix of discussions, analysis work and creativity, including the construction of cooperation initiatives between rural territories of the EU. The conference will also be a moment to reflect on the experience with more than 25 years of work with the LEADER approach.
A report on the conference will be published in a future AEIDL Flash newsletter.
