Interreg Danube: RurALL Final Conference

RurALL Project Final Conference

May 20 – May 21 2026

Beltinci, Slovenia

Kulturni dom Beltinci, Ulica Štefana Kovača 3, 9231 Beltinci

We are pleased to invite you to the final conference of the RurALL project, where partners, stakeholders, and experts will come together to present key project results and explore future pathways for rural regeneration.

The event will provide a platform for knowledge exchange, showcasing practical tools, tested approaches, and innovative solutions developed throughout the project. It will also foster dialogue on how these results can and would be applied, scaled, and further developed across different regions.

The conference will be particularly relevant for local and regional authorities, local stakeholders and community representatives, spatial planners and urban designers, architects and New European Bauhaus practitioners, policy-makers, researchers, development agencies, NGOs, and professionals involved in rural development, territorial cooperation, and sustainable spatial planning. It will also be valuable for anyone interested in innovative approaches to revitalising rural areas and addressing challenges such as depopulation and underused assets

Programme highlights
