PRIORITY
Each one "Business and Regional Development" conference stresses on a specific problem area. The priority of the Second one is rural development. The rural development- as one of the focuses of the European Union- requires a broad discussion on the main issues, which will be considered in the rural development policy after 2013, taking into account key priorities – intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth.
The coverage of the aims and objectives of the EU in the national rural development policies of individual member states requires excellent knowledge of trends and the specific socio-economic development after 2007, opportunities and challenges faced, as well as the practices with successful results.
GOAL OF THE CONFERENCE
The main goal of the conference is to prepare theoretical-methodological and empirical rationale for updating the rural development policies of the EU member states for 2013-2020 programming period. Thus the future of rural areas after 2013 will be put on the basis of knowledge and innovation.
