Euracademy Association was established in January 2004 in Athens as a European non-profit membership organisation, in order to promote capacity building in rural areas and take forward the successful activities of the Euracademy project. History:
A multi-national, inter-disciplinary team of university teachers, researchers and consultants of rural development worked together for 3 years in the Eu
racademy project with the central aim to promote in a real, practical and substantial way the sustainable development processes in rural areas. In this context, the project partners have decided to formally establish a non-profit membership organisation to take forward and expand the philosophy and activities of the project. The Euracademy Association was formally launched during the end-of-project conference in November 2003 in Hungary. Vision:
The core vision of the Euracademy Association is to promote capacity building in rural areas and mobilise animators and managers of rural development by offering them the opportunity to improve their skills, widen their experience, expand their professional qualifications, starting a personal itinerary of lifelong learning and providing ample space for networking and cooperation in the framework of European projects.
