The European Rural Development Network (ERDN) dates back to 2002. It was established to integrate the efforts and competences of various European research institutions in their joint works on the state and paths of transformation of rural areas, in particular farming, with the view to extension of the EU and its future policies. Thus, the main objectives of the ERDN are parallel to the Community’s idea of building the European Research Area for agriculture and rural development. The Network is meant to encompass the leading research centers studying rural development in Europe, and in particular in its central, eastern and south-eastern countries.
