  1. RUR@CT ‘Sharing for Progressing’ Presentation to the RegioStars Awards 2012 Category 1 ‘Smart Growth’ 16 January 2012

  2. Why RUR@CT ? • The attractiveness and dynamism of territories depend on their capacity of innovation • Rural areas have an innovation potential which is not developed enough and should contribute to territorial cohesion • Need to go beyond the mere exchange of Good Practices, hence the focus on the transfer of innovative Good Practices with concrete and tangible results  contributes to promote and strengthen innovation.

  3. What is RUR@CT ? • A network of European Regions aiming at reinforcing the effectiveness and efficiency of regional policies through the capitalisation and transfer of Good Practices (GPs) in the field of rural innovation. • A methodology of transfer aiming at going beyond the mere exchange of Good Practices & a specific methodological toolbox (database, fact sheets…)

  4. Innovative dimension • The first European network/project to deliver an innovative service to its members: technical assistance & advice on the transfer of GPs. • GPs classified through their innovation level, based on a broad approach - not only technological, but also economical, social and environmental innovation, including organisational issues and territorial governance. • Innovative use of EU legislation  funded by ERDF under Article 37-6b of EC Regulation 1083/2006.

  5. RUR@CT objectives & results Outcomes Objectives • Capitalisation & Transfer • 1 transfer methodology & tools • 150 GPs in database - 3 INTERREG IVC projects based on the RUR@CT transfer methodology • 40 action plans to be implemented (4 in Limousin started their operational phase) Promoting rural innovation for TerritorialCohesion Facilitating the Capitalisation and the Transfer of Good Practicesbetween EU Regions • Partnerships & strategy • 30 member regions, 32 partners (from 17 EU member states) • 3 strategic conferences (100-150 participants) • 40 people trained on Art 37-6b & participation to INTERACT pilot project • 3 political statements Implementing innovative rural development projects within regional operational programmes

  6. Impacts and sustainability At EU level • Synergies developed with 6 EU projects in terms of capitalisation and/or transfer methodology (especially INTERREG IVC projects). • A legal structure which is expected to strengthen the network and its sustainability. 2 options: setting up an EGTC or relying on an existing structure (for example AER). • Recognition of the added value of transfer and of the RUR@CT transfer methodology at EU level At regional level • Mainstreaming between Obj. 2 and 3 of Cohesion Policy  4 Pilot projects on Priority Axis 5 of the Limousin ERDF OP. • ‘Exporting’ & ‘Importing’ Regions  mentoring from experienced regions which strengthens the sustainability of transfers
