Rural-urban synergies emerged in an immersive innovation ecosystem
R urbanive will develop 6 Rural/Urban enablers (RUEs) -innovations in six domains to favor bi-directional urban-rural synergies and a well-being economy. A digital space, the “Community Store”, which is the prominent result of the project, will integrate the RUEs along with the “Community of Practice Suite” of Policies, facilitating rural and urban communities to create strong synergies. The Community Store will make possible synergies and recommendations, online interaction, dialogue, collaboration, and participation of rural/urban actors and stakeholders.
Seven Rural-Urban Co-Creation Labs in diverse geographic and socio-cultural contexts will be equipped with social and technological innovations supporting further visualization, realization, and experimentation to highlight the social connectivity and innovation aspect of RURBANIVE, bringing together various Social Sciences and Humanities fields in an inclusive and accessible setup.
