“Future Oriented Collaborative Policy Development for Rural Areas and People”
Rural areas are under pressure. Despite being home to more than a quarter of Europe’s population and providing more than one fifth of all EU jobs, the old-fashioned image of the rural idyll is seemingly no longer valid. Over the past twenty-five years, rural regions have experienced a rapidly shrinking population as people, especially young adults, have migrated to cities with the lure of better paid jobs, modern affordable homes and more exciting lifestyles.
PoliRural is a research and innovation project designed to advance rural policy development in the age of disruptive data and technologies in order to deliver a trusted, scalable and transferable solution for policy co-creation. It brings together decision makers, experts and rural inhabitants using advanced policy simulation tools to better understand and tackle regional challenges, ultimately making rural areas and professions more attractive and liveable for established populations and recent or potential newcomers.
Smart & Lean’s role in PoliRural project is to contribute to the Häme-pilot.
Project timeframe: June, 2019 – September, 2022
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 818496

PoliRural SemEx -sovelluksen hyödyntäminen Hämeessä
Semantic Explorer (www.semex.io) on tekstinlouhinnan työkalu, jonka avulla loppukäyttäjä voi analysoida ja visualisoida maaseudun kehittämiseen liittyvää tekstimuotoista dataa. SemEx on kehitetty PoliRural tutkimus- ja innovaatiohankkeessa vuosien 2019 – 2022 aikana. Laajassa hankekonsortiossa on kaksi suomalaista parneria: Hämeen ammattikorkeakoulu Kanta-Hämeestä ja Smart & Lean Hub Oy Päijät-Hämeestä. Nämä ovat yhtevastuussa Suomen Häme-pilotin toteutuksesta. Kaiken kaikkiaan hankkeessa…
Algorithm for Häme Rural Development
Häme’s (FI) rural areas development is now converted into an algorithm that runs multiple input and output variables. An open-source application provides a simulation tool and playground for Häme regional policymakers and authorities to foresight the rural long-term future until 2040. The System Dynamics Modelling application is the result of PoliRural project efforts.
The observations and insights of PoliRural project – Grass roots needs analysis
The survey was developed in parallel in all the PoliRural 12 regional pilots during the same period, beginning on Feb 10th and ending on March 9 th 2020. In Häme the survey gathered the interest of a total of 90. The below conclusion is copied directly from the deliverable D4.2 and it reflects all 12…
