Territorial Cohesion in Rural Europe

Director of CRRS, Philomena de Lima, has co-edited Territorial Cohesion in Rural Europe with Andrew K Copus.  It was published recently by Routledge. 

The book reflects on how the economies, social characteristics, ways of life and global relationships of rural areas of Europe have changed in recent years, arguing that Europe has 'outgrown' many of the stereotypes usually associated with it, with substantial implications for European Rural Policy.

New Project to Increase Rural and Urban Dialogue

Inverness College UHI Centre For Remote and Rural Studies is one of the partners in an exciting new project led by Brandon University.  The aim of the project is to increase rural and urban dialogue .

The Rural Policy Learning Commons will network scholars, politicians and citizens to ensure that policy-makers recognise the characterstics, unique benefits and challenges associated with rural and northern places.

It is a global network with more than 30 partners and 90 institutional and individual participants.  Brandon University President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr Gervan Fearon calls it an 'extraordinary partnership'.
