DERREG - Developing Europe’s Rural Regions in the Era of Globalization

The NUIG Geography Department is one of nine partners in a new European Union Seventh Framework Programme. The project is titled, ’Developing Europe’s Rural Regions in the Era of Globalization – An interpretative model for better anticipating and responding to challenges for regional development in an evolving international context (DERREG). The project will be funded by the European Union Socio-economic Science and Humanities. The DERREG project was chosen from 425 projects, of which just 3, including DERREG were successful. DERREG aims to produce an interpretative model that will enable researchers and regional development actors to better anticipate and respond to the key challenges posed by globalization for rural regions.

NUIG - DERREG will play a key role in three Work Packages:

• WP1: International Mobility and Migration of the Rural Population
• WP2: Environmental Capital and Sustainable Rural Development
• WP3: Capacity Building, Governance and Knowledge Systems
