Assessing the impact of Rural Development policies (incl. LEADER)
The RuDI project aims to improve the understanding of the processes and structures underlying the formulation, implementation and impacts of European rural development policies. It examines priority setting, design, targeting and delivery processes of the 2007-13 programming period.
The research will help to understand the contribution of rural development programmes to EU priorities and feed into the development of the next generation of rural development policies.
