European Association for Innovation in Local Development - Association Européenne pour l'Innovation dans le Développement Local

“AEIDL is actively engaged in the formulation of EU policy recommendations and the organisation of policy forums with EU officials and political representatives such as MEPs in order to advance integrated, innovative, sustainable and inclusive local development policies across the EU (see www.aeidl.eu/forum/). Through EC service contracts, we deliver, jointly with partners, key programmes such as the EU CAP Network and FAMENET, and have delivered in the past their predecessors ENRD and FARNET. These programmes, as well as our ongoing role in supporting the EU Rural Pact, aim to make EU policies better known by local stakeholders across the EU, but also provide a bottom-up avenue for them to feed into the EU decision-making process.”
