Assessing the socio-economic impact of digitalisation in rural areas
DESIRA aims to improve the capacity of society to respond to the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation in rural areas.
Through a network of 20 Living Labs in the European rural areas, the project will assess the past, current and future socio-economic impacts of ICT-related innovation.
DESIRA will also facilitate a Rural Digitisation Forum to discuss how policies could address the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation.
