Better knowledge for better rural policies
GRANULAR is a four-year project (2022-2026) with 25 partners funded by the Horizon Europe programme and the United Kingdom funds on research and innovation. It aims to to identify, develop and provide novel data and reusable tools to understand the characteristics, dynamics and drivers of rural areas and hence support place and evidence-based policy making.
GRANULAR’s main objectives are:
- to conceptualise the diversity of features and functionalities of rural areas;
- to generate and assess novel rural data to support decision-making in rural areas available through an online repository (lien à faire);
- to develop indicators to better understand trends, threats and opportunities for rural areas;
- to contribute to operationalise the rural proofing of policies;
- to engage with actors across different types of rural contexts to collect, analyse, validate and assess data;
- to share knowledge and give rural actors tools for decision-making and support just, carbon-neutral and inclusive transitions of rural areas.
