Rural Coop call planned together - workshop on Wed 27.5.2026 at 12 noon
Welcome to develop the first ERDF theme application of the Regional Council of Northern Ostrobothnia!
Co-creation is related to the Rural Coop project implemented by the Regional Council of Northern Ostrobothnia, where one of the main objectives is to develop new regional development practices, especially from the perspective of the funding process.
In connection with this, we organise a workshop for project operators, the purpose of which is to involve them in the planning of the contents of the funding application. The upcoming Rural Coop call is linked to a specific objective 2.1. Promoting energy efficiency measures and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, the workshop will brainstorm the priorities of the specific objective arising from the needs of municipalities.
The thematic call is expected to start in autumn 2026 and the call for applications will amount to EUR 500,000.
Please note: Due to the limited space and the running of the workshop, we are able to offer participation to about 30 people. The places will be filled in order of registration so that 1-2 participants from the same organisation can be accepted.
The workshop is facilitated by Arctic Factory.
Registration will be closed if the number of participants is reached.
