Rural development 2025

Dear Participants of the Conference,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 12th International Scientific Conference “Rural Development 2025: Resilience to Global Change”. It has already become a biannual tradition to meet colleagues and partners from all over the world here. In addition, we are pleased that this event has become a common area for international scientific collaboration. We are united by a common purpose and a shared vision: to explore, discuss, and strategize on how bioeconomy businesses and rural communities can adapt, thrive, and lead in an era characterized by rapid and often unpredictable changes.
