Workshops on Rural Development Policy

In collaboration with Professor Berkeley Hill, professor emeritus at London University, a workshop on rural development policies in the EU and US was held in 2007. A second workshop focusing on the evaluation of rural development policies was held at the OECD headquarters in Paris in June 2009. For more information on this project visit the project website.
