GRANULAR will produce a rural compass with novel data and tools to characterise rural diversity and guide actors in the design of tailored rural policies.

The Horizon Project GRANULAR had its virtual kick-off meeting on 12-13 October 2022.
Set in motion in October 2022, GRANULAR will run for the next four years to contribute to the characterisation of rural diversity and the design of tailored rural policies, based on a multi-actor and interdisciplinary approach.
Led by CIHEAM Montpellier, GRANULAR gathers 23 partners (academic institutes, international organisations, NGOs, rural networks and local authorities) and will use participatory methods in 16 pilot territories across Europe to identify the main challenges and trends faced by rural communities and to generate novel datasets and tools to guide local action.
