DINAMIC DANUBE

The DINAMIC DANUBE project 🌍 represents a strategic partnership of 17 organizations, combining academic expertise and business support capabilities to jointly address the complex socio-economic challenges facing rural areas in the Danube Region. The primary focus is on mitigating the depopulation trend that threatens the region's economic backbone – small family farms, which are the main target group of this project - by strengthening their capacities through lifelong learning, mentorship and technology introduction.
