E40 Group Projects
E40 Group was the Lead Partner of the 1st Preparatory Action Action on Smart Rural Areas in the 21st Century (Smart Rural 21) project, supported by the European Commission (DG AGRI). The project aimed to support rural communities in developing smart village strategies and implementing smart actions across Europe. E40 Europe was responsible for the overall coordination of the project, including supporting villages in their smart actions, organisation of various events and exchanges, analytical work and communication tasks. E40 Communications coordinated smart solutions case studies and supported communication tasks (including social media). For more information contact: E40 Europe.
