New Ruralities (NERU) is an Erasmus+ Cooperation partnerships programme, which brings together six design units within the universities of ULB (Brussels), POLITO (Torino), UDC (La Coruña), UMinho (Braga), UACEG (Sofia) and ETH (Zürich). The Newrope chair is participating on behalf of ETH. The partnership’s aim is to generate a kind of knowledge that would be true to the diversity and dynamism of rural areas, and beyond the association of the rural and farming, or beyond outmoded rural–urban dualisms. The project will culminate in an international symposium in the summer of 2025. Contact
