Our new Thematic Group (TG) on Gen Z: Leading Generational Renewal in Farming will kick off in September. Don’t miss the chance to join a committed group of colleagues from around the EU and engage in exchanges and networking - express your interest in joining the TG by 9 September. 

In the past months, we have toured rural Europe to participate in networking events organised by the National Networks. Here’s what we have learnt and how this contributes to our daily work – and yours.

The new guidelines provide insights into the operationalisation of LEADER added value and offer a non-binding evaluation framework. They were elaborated with the contribution of ninety experts during a related Thematic Working Group (TWG). The guidelines are available in all EU languages.

Two new studies published by the European Commission highlight the CAP's contribution to rural development, encourage more holistic policy approaches, and confirm the impact of LEADER on balanced territorial development. 

You can now watch a number of videos related to the EU CAP Network Conference ‘EIP-AGRI Operational Groups: Innovation in practice’, which was held in Estoril, Portugal, in May 2024. You have many to choose from: the aftermovie of the conference, a summary video of the awards ceremony, or the full recording of the awards ceremony. On the nominee page, there is a video compilation presenting all nominated projects per category, interviews with all the winners, and videos submitted by each nominee.

Thematic Group members reviewed insights from previous TG activities, developed action-oriented recommendations to improve farmers' mental health support, and discussed how to replicate successful approaches. 

Key outcomes of an exciting two-day gathering in Finland, where over 200 LEADER enthusiasts discussed ways to increase the power of young people in LEADER design and implementation. 

The second Thematic Group meeting built on topics discussed during two informal discussions, identified key elements for effective green strategies in CAP Strategic Plans, and developed recommendations for implementation.
